[brlug-general] Pinnacle PC HDTV Pro USB tuner

[Alvaro Zuniga]

You need to compile something into your kernel. Some applications are
tricky. For instance, to get my webcam working I had to compile the 
dummy video driver. In your case, I would probably try to compile the 
bt848(?) driver. The older PCI Pinnacle Pro card used this driver.
Speaking of that, one of the readers of this group just inherited that
very same card remote control and infrared serial adapter. Feel free 
to jump in!

Does dmesg tell you the function that is missing? Sometimes that is
enough to know if you are missing USB Device support or something else.
This error does not really have very useful output. I took a quick look
at the instruction and I saw the line

v4l-dvb-kernel

The video for linux driver has two versions. I cannot remember if both
can be compiled at the same time but I know it is an issue if you do not
compile the correct version.

Good luck.
