hi,
I have a bt878 based capture card that required additional options
to make it work under debian/knoppix. However , knoppix 3.3 would just
simply modprobe the bttv without any options. Result that the system
take several minutes to initialize the bttv module but in fact it don't
work.
Although I can specific the options through the kernel cmd
interface , I would like to update the knoppix's hardware database
directly. So that I can contribute my work for next version of knoppix.
Just send the "lspci -n" vendor- and product-id of your card, together
with the corresponding module entry to me. The current table is shown in
/usr/share/hwdata/pcitable.
With kind regards

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But what if the module required specific
options? For example , it need to pass bit_test=1 to i2c-algo-bit and
card=77 to bttv module.
In this case, it would be best not to load the module by autodetection
at all, but configure it manually with the nice "configure-xawtv" tool
from Fabian, which is located in the KNOPPIX menu. So, I _still_ need
the PCI numbers in order to add a "none" in the module field in
pcitable. ;-)
The data:
Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
109e:0878
So, vendor ID is 109e, product ID is 0878, right?
Regards
