[mythtv-users] Input Connections is blank on setup

[James Pifer]

Hi. No I can't capture with the card using a cat. I get: "no such
device". 

Let me ask a really stupid question. How do I tell if the ivtv drivers
are loaded? I have ivtv-0.12-cvs20031004_15.rh9.at installed. 

I don't see anything in messages about ivtv. Only problems I see are
with sound drivers. 

Thanks,
James
