<DIV><SPAN class=433150111-27112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got a Gentoo
box running with bttv (Avermedia tv studio) and it works fine (mostly). I used
gaming-sources, I figured it couldn't hurt video playback and it is a
dedicated myth box. It's been a while since I did the install, but I don't
remember any major problems. If you try the gaming-sources and still have
problems I'll try to help if I can.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Advice Needed for Gentoo<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>?

<P>All,</P>
<P>Given Redhat's announcement of killing off its personal line, I have
decided to look for a nother distro. Since my current project in MythTV,
I have decided to build Myth on Gentoo. While I like that Gentoo doesn't
have much extra in it other than what you explicitly install, I am having
problems with bttv.</P>
<P>According to multiple references on the web, the kernel modules for bttv
should be in the gentoo-sources kernel. V4L does not contain a bttv
option. When I download 0.9.1.1 from bytesex.org and compile it, I
received unresolved symbol errors.</P>
<P>I would appreciate hearing from any of you that have Myth running on Gentoo
especially if you are using the bttv module. What source are you
using. Have you done anything odd to get myth to work?</P>
<P>TIA,</P>
<P>William</P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
