[Motion-user] bttv card drivers

[Mitch M. <mi...@bu...>]

Hi Everyone,

I've got a slight problem with the capture card we're using. The 
following is the line from my /etc/modprobe.conf
options bttv card=118,118,118,118,118,118,118,118 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4
I can't find much information about the card that I'm using but in short 
it has 8 seperate composite inputs connected through what looks like a 
parallel adapter. The pcicard has 8 conexant chips on the single pcb.

The problem being when I do a modprobe it takes a few minutes to 
complete and when I do a dmesg its hanging on this line bttv#: 
registered device video0 each time.
We've tried the card as being 72, without the notuner option as well as 
the 118 with the notuner and without.

What I'm trying to figure out is when we first start motion one of the 
cameras doesn't initialise properly, but the other does. When I use say 
xawtv to look at what the device is doing, then it starts working in both.

If anyone has any idea about this card or any information about what 
driver I should be using it would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a dmesg:
