Hi All,

I am running Ubuntu server v8.10 with zoneminder v 1.2.3

kernel is 2.6.27-7

I did have a huapagge bt878 based TV card installed and it worked fine.

today I replaced it with a 4 port bt878 card bought from ebay.

Unfortunately now I do not see any /dev/videoX devices, I was expecting
/dev/video0 and maybe /dev/video1,2,3

Linux does see the card:

lspci

00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02)
00:0d.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Device 0838 (rev 02)

I've added bttv to /etc/modules


lsmod |grep bt


bttv 171220 0
videodev 41344 1 bttv
ir_common 48132 1 bttv
compat_ioctl32 9344 1 bttv
i2c_algo_bit 14212 1 bttv
v4l2_common 19840 1 bttv
videobuf_dma_sg 20612 1 bttv
videobuf_core 26628 2 bttv,videobuf_dma_sg
btcx_risc 12680 1 bttv
tveeprom 20228 1 bttv
i2c_core 31892 5 bttv,i2c_algo_bit,v4l2_common,tveeprom,i2c_sis630



Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Steve
