If you are in the kernel config screen and you go to the "help" button, it refers you to a readme document. Something like /Documentation/video/v4l/bttv
In there you can read up on all the kernel config options. In fact you can find a lot of documentation in there. Most of the kernel options have some text under the "help" button which refers you to the real documentation.
Sorry, don't have a linux machine on me to give you precise directions...

OK, maybe I'm a bigger newbie than I thought I was, but I did not see any
specific option in the kernel for bttv (does this mean they are built-into
Video For Linux?) , all I saw was the following:
<M> Video For Linux
Video For Linux --->
Radio Adapters --->
Then I go into Video For Linux....
[*] V4L information in proc filesystem (NEW)
--- Video Adapters
< > Mediavision Pro Movie Studio Video For Linux (NEW)
< > CPiA Video For Linux (NEW)
I originally had compiled everything to be built-in. I will try setting it
as a module next time. And how do I know if my bt848 card is being
recognized properly? It will show up during boot-time right (or dmesg)?
Because if that's the case, wouldn't it have shown up since I had already
compiled Video4Linux support and the drivers are built-in?
Thanks for all the help....
