xawtv-3.88 on mandrake 9.1
dear friends,
Ive been trying exaustivly to install and get xawtv working for my makdrake 9.1 with a Matrox Marvel G200tv video card. I have successfully compiled the package and installed it. But when I go to run the darn thing, using command "xawtv" i get the following error:
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-0.13mdk)
can't open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
I've checked the /dev/v4l directory, and it is not there, it does not exist, v4l does not exist in the dev directory. I then snooped through many forms and came upon a suggestion to type the commands "xawtv -c /dev/video0" and i recieve the same error as above:
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-0.13mdk)

then to type "xawtv -hwscan" and I recieved the following:

then the form suggested to check "lsmod" for bttv, but it was not there, this is what i got when i typed "lsmod":
