If you are running Red Hat 7.1 you should just install the card, then
reboot Linux and RedHat will automatically detect the hardware and
configure the card.

You will see a message during boot-up saying that it has detected the card
and asking if you would like it the configuration file set up for it. Say
yes.

Then log in as root and type

$/sbin/lsmod

to check to see if the bttv driver is running. This is the driver for the
chipset on the card. If you don't see bttv in the list of drivers that
follow the command then you'll need to start it. To start the bttv driver,
just type

$/sbin/modprobe

That's it - then download ARToolKit2.40, compile the sample applications
and run..

The location of the latest drivers and other video4linux advice can be
found at http://www.exploits.org/v4l/

The WinTV card has either a bttv 848 or bttv 878 chipset in it, which are
both supported by linux. If you have trouble with the default RedHat
drivers, just download the latest version from http://bytesex.org/bttv/

I hope this helps..

Hi All,

I am now trying to get the ARToolKits running in Linux environment. However,
I can't find the driver for Hauppauge! WinTV-GO-FM card.

Has anyone tried this card before? Please give me some tips on how to do it.

Thanks!

I have just checked TV color method (I don't know the good word).
You are in Singapore, right?
If so, you have to use PAL setting.

For ARToolKit on Linux,
include/AR/config.h:

#define   DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE          VIDEO_MODE_NTSC
--->
#define   DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE          VIDEO_MODE_PAL

And compile all.

Hi,

I manage to get the card working under Red Hat 6.2, and Mandrake 7.2, where
the kernel version are all 2.2.xx-xx. However, the frames are only black and
white.

Could it be due to the different version of the kernel? Any suggestion on
this problem please?

Thanks,
Xu Ke

Hi

I'm in Europe and so I've tried to set DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE to 
VIDEO_MODE_PAL.
Unfortunately the picture is still B/W. Are there some other/additional 
settings to make PAL work?

Dear Benedikt
We have just managed to successfully get the ARtoolkit to run in Red Hat
Linux both the 6 and 7 versions with full color and quite fast frame rate.
We are now writing up our experiences as a tutorial and will be posting to
this list soon :)
Best Wishes
Adrian

I am not sure but SECAM is used in some countries in Europe.
Please try
#define   DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE          VIDEO_MODE_SECAM
But I have never tried this.

Also you can see your television format by using other video applications
such as xawtv.
