CentOS - Oct 2006 - Need help - Install Driver for Video Capture Card

Hi everybody,

I need help to install driver for video card. I have physically installed two
video capture card on two different computers. Both running Linux CentOS release
4.4 (final), and kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp. The first computer is Pentium D 3.00
GHz, 1Gbyte RAM. The second computer is AMD Athlon 2800+,  1 Gbyte RAM. I
succesfully  installed opencv-0.9.7 on both computers with gtk+ 2.x, libjpeg,
zlib, libpng, libtiff, ffmpeg, dc1394, raw1394 and V4L pre-installed. Opencv
running very well on both computers.

I installed Hauppauge ImpactVCB (model 558) on Pentium D machine, while on
Athlon machine, I installed I-O Data GV-VCP2M/PCI.
After physically installing the cards, I installed the bttv-0.9.15 driver on
both machine according to the instru8ction given by :
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/BTTV.html, with exception that I did not
recompile the kernel as instructed if the machine does not has  the videodev.o, 
bttv.o, and tuner.o. Both machines do not have the files mentioned above.

After completed installation, I could capture videos through the cards on both
machines. However, if i restarted the machines, I could not capture any video
anymore. I have to repeat the process of loading the modules as follow:
- sync; sleep 1; sync
- modprobe videodev
- modprove bttv

Would anyone help me solve this problems. I already write in the modprobe.conf
file the following:

Pentium D machine:

alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c=debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit=test=1
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
option bttv card=10

Athlon machine:

alias char -majorp-81
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=2


I really do not remember where I got the codes, and I also not very sure whether
they are correct or not. I'm quite new in this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

regards,

arw_opencv
