After some more research and shooting in the dark repeatedly I managed to hit something.
Placing the following lines into my modules.conf cause the ATI TV Wonder to be viewable using the
xawtv. However,
zapping doesn't work, and I can't get the most recent verison of it to install in my system due to rpm and other library dependencies.
alias char-major-89 i2c-core
alias char-major-90 i2c-algo-bit
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=63 tuner=2
options tuner type=2
The notable change is the card type from 10 to 63. I read the CARDLIST document in the bttv driver's directory of source code and documentation to find it at the urging of another web page I found using
Google.
I'm happy to have a usable video signal back, and along the way I figured out how to get my quickcam to auto-load its driver at boot time, but I'm left with two issues.
1. How to get the tv card driver to load at boot time. It currently requires me to execute
modprobe bttv as root before I can watch tv.
2. I want to find a tv app that will let me take still pictures and record video from the card so I don't have to do this in Windows any more.
Your thoughts and input are appreciated.
