further to my last was looking at this page:

Your kernel will need to be correctly configured to support your card.
Most newer Linux distributions come with the necessary modules already
compiled, so if you can find the videodev.o, bttv.o, and tuner.o
under /lib/modules/2.x.x/misc, you should be ready to go.

in the bttv mini-HOWTO.

the 2.6 kernel has these files

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135427 Dec 5 19:24 bttv.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11564 Dec 5 19:24 videodev.ko

in the
marvin:/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-386/kernel/drivers/media/video#

i insmoded the 2nd one i think without probs. haven't rebooted.

the bttv driver returned:

marvin:/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-386/kernel/drivers/media/video# insmod
bttv.ko
insmod: error inserting 'bttv.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
marvin:/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-386/kernel/drivers/media/video#

not looking good. ran update modules but there is no bttv refrenced in
the modules list.

Am I on the right track do you think?
