Hi,

I have successfully installed ZM 1.22.3 on SUSE 10.1 and I also managed to setup automatic startup of ZM.

After the machine boots I can see that ZM is running:

# ps -A | grep zm
4252 ? 00:00:03 zmdc.pl
4299 ? 00:00:00 zmfilter.pl
4304 ? 00:00:00 zmaudit.pl
4311 ? 00:00:03 zmwatch.pl
4319 ? 00:00:00 zmupdate.pl

But the bttv module does not get loaded for some reason and running

# lsmod | grep bttv
comes back with nothing

and also

# dmesg | grep btt
comes back with nothing

However if i manually load the module

# modprobe bttv
The module loads OK

# dmesg | grep btt
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded

With SUSE not loading the bttv module automatically, the /dev/video[0..15] do not get created which means that ZM does not actually seem to do anything.
I know that the module should get loaded when required, but I would have thought that this should happen when the card gets detected during boot?

What have I missed? I am using the KMC-4400R card.

Thank you...
