Pete, forgive the delay I work the majority of my shifts over the weekend. I tried the boot with the modprobe.conf file below and still no driver loaded at boot. << alias eth0 via-rhine alias snd-card-1 snd-au8810 #install snd-au8810 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-au8810 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-au8810 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-au8810 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd # bttv alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=10 radio=0 tuner=39 >> I have gone as far as removing the card and allowing the system to reboot, kudzu checks for new hardware and informs me that the following device has been removed from my system Brooktree Corporation bt878 video capture card I have then re-installed the card and kudzu tells me that the following device has been added to my system. First Screen Brooktree Corporation bt878 video capture device audio capture device Second Screen Brooktree Corporation bt878 video capture device video capture device On both screens I elect to configure the device.

I am just about to go by a WinTV PVR150 MCE and switch to the ivtv driver. I am at a complete loss. John -- --
