[Kwintv] kdetv doesnt recognize my card

Wed Jul 6 20:31:09 CEST 2005

I don't mean to change the mount point, I'm refering to configuring the 
tuner #. Look in /etc/modprobe.conf and you you will find lines like these 
and they will tell you what tuner # is configured.

# options bttv pll=1 radio=0 card=0
# options tuner type=0
# options msp3400 once=1 simple=1

With SuSE this is a generated file that reflects what YaST has configured. I 
recommend you use YaST for configuring your TV card but if you must, edit 
/etc/modprobe.conf.local with something like

options tuner type=38

The # 38 is for example purposes as I don't know what tuner is on your TV 
card.
