Im installing ZM on Slackware 12.2 and i have a problem with configuration.

Im using this card http://www.hwp.ru/Security/Orient.sdrv604c/0sm.jpg (4 chips conexant)

This card suport 16 cams and i add:

/dev/video0 (0-3)
/dev/video1 (0-3)
/dev/video2 (0-3)
/dev/video3 (0-3)

on dmesg the information is about bttv 878 GENERIC***
The problem is no image in some devices and repeated imagens on others ("/dev/video0(0)" have same image "/dev/video0(3)")

I tried various settings on /etc/modprobe.d like:

options bttv gbuffers=16 card=133,132,133,133 and others variants:
card 77, 102, ...

Im googled alot about it and in forum too i read all results for "fusion 878a" but nothing works well

Anyone can help me with this?

Thanks for any help

Try with this options; and post the output of "dmesg | grep bttv"

options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4

if that doesn't work, then try

options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=77,77,77,77

Also on you ZM options you should change the value of CAPTURES_PER_FRAME to 2 or 4 to avoid the repeated images, you have to use the same setting to all the cameras (resolution, colors, etc etc)
