[mythtv-users] bttv driver

[Joseph A. Caputo]

In my kernel configuration screen (stock 2.4.20), the first option under
"--- Video Adapters" is "BT848 for Linux".

FYI, it's possible that this option does not appear if you do not enable
"I2C support" and "I2C bit-banging interfaces" in the character device
section.
