[mythtv-users] ivtv installation on Redhat 9 wintv-250

Wed Sep 29 20:21:08 EDT 2004

Hi,

I am trying to configure the ivtv driver on my Hauppauge Wintv-250 card.  When I run modprobe it appears that the ivtv driver loads, however there is no new video (ivtv) device in /dev.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Randall
