how to install tvtime and what modules and drivers it needs?


Hello, people.
I'm using Slackware 12.0.
Hardware information for my motherboard:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...0&maincat_no=1

I have a PCI TV Tuner Card. I installed (or maybe tried to install) tvtime. Nothing happens and have no command tvtime.
http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/

Manufacturer of the TV card: PROLINK (http://www.prolink.com.tw) (someone call it PixelView(R)).

Somewhere in the forums I was read that for PixelView I must first use "modprobe tuner type=1".
But the problem is:

root@automat:/dev# modprobe tuner type=1
WARNING: Error inserting i2c_core (/lib/modules/2.6.21.5-smp/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko): Invalid module format

What should I do now? (I'm newbie in Linux)

I forgot to mention that on the PCI TV Tuner card User's Manual is written "PV-M4500" (I don't know what is it, may be a model).

Some commands:

root@automat:~# dmesg | grep bttv0
