Winfast 2000XP TV Tuner and Linux


I am trying to follow this faq from anandtech to set up my TV Tuner card, but I am really new to Linux and don't really know how to do anything. I have no idea how to recompile the kernel with video for linux. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I am running red hat 9.0.

you won't need to recomplie anything at all. just try loading a tv viewer like xawtv and it will quite probably be loaded already. if it fails, run "lsmod" to see what modules have been loaded. you're looking for "bttv" for you card (a generic driver that works with 95% of tv cards perfectly). Kudzu *should* have picked the card up just fine. can be a bit strange not even being asked to put in a driver disc for every single card...
