Hauppauge Wintv pvr-250 card setup

jmit887 · 01-17-2005, 07:13 PM

I am jsut starting out using linux so i dont even know where to start with installing my WinTV pvr-250 card. I know that once i have it working i want to use MythTv(looks like a very nice program) But first things first i need to get my card set up.

I am using FedoraCore 3 kernel 2.6.10

i know that i need the BTTV software but that is the extent of my knowledge.

If someone could give me or better yet direct me to a step by step guide that will hold my hand the whole process that would be great

Also i am slightly confused, because i have read conflicting info, such that i need to compile my own kernel !?!?!?! and then that the new 2.6 kernel comes with everything needed. IS it both?

.Any help would be much appreciated.

You will not need to recompile your kernel. You can build the driver module as long as you have the source tree for your kernel installed. The MythTV documentation has a good overview of installing the ivtv driver.

The bttv page has a page on installing the bttv driver if you would prefer that.

Thanks for the quick response, i am trying the first link that you gave me, the one from mythtv and i dont know what to do for this

urpmi kernel-source

it says change it for your distribution so what do i make it? for fedora core 3?

EDIT: i tried both ways, and now i am lost

*1st way*

If i do the rest up to make i get this error
