Brooktree BBT78 card shows single camera on all 4 ports

zoneminder 1.28 , Ubuntu Percise

I have a brooktree bbt78 , 4 port card displaying the same camera on all 4 ports, instead of the attached camera. I have tried the following, but still have the same problem.

Disable V4L_MULTI_BUFFER (found in options >> config)
Change CAPTURES_PER_FRAME to a value such as 2 or 4 (found in options >> config)

I have had this card working on an earlier version of zoneminder, but forget what I did to fix things. Anyone have things working with the same type card?

Have you set the right card type? Mine is a similar card and it's type 77. so in /etc/modprobe.d I have a file bttv.conf with a single line 'options bttv card=77 tuner=4' which works for me.

I have a bttv file, but the install changed it to type=131.. Set it to =77 and it fixed the issue.

Thanks
