I upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0 a couple of days ago and I have got my pctv
working.
As on my 8.2 installation the tvcard wasn't working out of the box despite
the fct that it is automatically detected. I think that the problem is with
the i2c bit that is directly related to your graphics card driver.
I wote a script (it is portable. Changes in /etc/modules.conf are release
dependant) that off-loads all the tv stuff and reloads it again with the
correct parameters and modules.
I have pasted the script below for your reference. This script is specific
to my 3dfx voodoo3 card. The parameters for bttv are correct though.
For sound I am using a Creative PCI128 (yeas like the graphics card old
junk!). In order to midi working I am alsways disabling arts in the KDE
control panel AND changing from auto-detect to ALSA.
On my virgin 9.0 install ALL mixer levels where set to zero initially.
That's very quiet!
