Hi, I have installed a Flyvideo '98 FM card and kwintv-0.8.5 from an RPM on 
my RH7.2 and KDE 2.2 dual processor box.  All went well and the Kwintv screen 
comes up ok but when I try to set the channels using the wizard, it steps 
right through the band and finds nothing.  I do not know if I need to set 
some config file.  The card was detected and installed ok on startup.  Can 
someone see what I am doing wrong?

This is the output from 'dmesg'

I do not know what can be done to test my setup, if anything.
