Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Video device not found

You need to check to see if the modules are actually loading (lsmod).

What are you using to view the tv picture? Kwintv, xawtv? An external
television?

I'm glad that you posted your question because it would appear in trying to
find a solution to your problem I may have resolved my own. I noticed a line
in my /etc/modules.conf file relating to a mad16 sound card. This system
does not have that card so this must have been a carry over from a previous
installation. There was also this line: pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner,
modprobe -k msp3400 which has since been changed to: options bttv radio=0
card=39 pll=0. Now the modules load when any user tries to execute a program
which uses the bttv card, and thus Gnomemeeting is now working. The only
thing that doesn't appear to load automatically is the msp3400 module, but I
am not certain I need that. The way I have it kluged in below was for
testing. A modprobe msp3400 followed by an lsmod shows that module as being
"unused".

[root Spare pnixon]# cat /etc/modules.conf
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
alias eth0 8139too
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options tuner type=2
options msp3400
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias tvcard0 bttv
alias sound-slot-0 cmpci

Hopefully this will help you. Good luck,

Paul
