I'll check the CVS Head for this file, and see whether they have incorporated a chip-specific check in the latest bttv.
Let me know if you find that out.
While I haven't followed this thread from the start, let me tell you what I have done for my Pinnacle PCTV+ card to work in Linux. These are the contents of my modules.conf - ............................................... #i2c alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options i2c-core i2c_debug=1 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
#bttv alias char-major-81 bttv alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv card=39 pll=1 radio=0 bttv_gpio=1 options tuner type=33 debug=1 pal=b ...............................................
These have worked for me. The Linux modules are definitely faster than the poorly coded Windows drivers which take up about 10% of processor load. Also, MPEG-1 encoding is less resource-hungry in Linux. And mainly, this card gives better picture quality than the Pixelview card.
