Linux n00b and installing drivers in Ubuntu 7.04

Hi All,

I have Zoneminder running an dcan talkto my axis 205 cameras just fine
I also have a 9100a video server running YOICS FW - that sort of works as well.

What I am having an issue with is my Video capture card - a cheapy based on a TW6802 chip.

Now i have spent a HEAP of time hunting the web and finally found a manufacturer that advertised LINUX support - a quick email and they have sent me a LINUX driver to suit....but Linux is nothing like Windows when it comes to driver installing!!

I am a glutton for punishment so I'm keen to *try* and get this card working before giving in and buying another card.

Anyone willing to have a look at the driver file I have been sent to try and work out how to install these drivers??

Cheers

Stocky

Essentially what you said is, "I have some stuff, and I am having some problems. Can you fix them?" We need the details like brand, driver, what you have tried... All the stuff you left out.

Hi Stocky,
I would be willing to take a shot at the linux driver you found as I could benefit from this as well. Either post instructions on where to download the driver or send me a private message.

Thanks,
Andy
