I got a Life FlyVideo 98FM/Typhon TView TV/FM Tuner, I activated all the I2C options, and the Bt878 option on the Video4linux kernel's menuconfig. Now the TvCard don't give any information about the Manufacter or Card Model, so the bttv module and tuner module get installed on the kernel at boot time without knowing the exact model, all the car says is that it has a brooktee 878 Rev: 11x chip. So i rmmod the bttv module, tuner module and i2c* modules and the modprobe bttv and tuner modules using the following:


# modprobe bttv card=36 tuner=36 radio=1 && modprobe tuner type=36



as far as I can see, the modules install ok, but i get nothing through xawtv...

What I have to do now???

I did a little research and I found out I was wrong... was using the wrong tuner... so I edited my /etc/modules.conf and added this:


# i2c
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

# bttv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv tuner=2 card=56 radio=1
options tuner debug=1


But all I get using xawtv is a black screen with a thin green line at the top....

This is what is in my sys log:

So... I have no idea.. where to go now....

I'm open to suggestions and any good idea... I'll also accept any link to any place where to read good documentation about the subject...

Thnx fellas...
