3. Requirements

Linux 2.0 or 2.2 kernel with source, development installation of X Window System (with DGA support, if available), modules, a supported BrookTree (now Connexant {formerly Rockwell Semiconductor}) bt848, bt878 or other supported chipset and a working compiler. With Linux 2.0, the bttv driver is also required. A TV display program is also handy, one is included with the bttv driver and there are pointers to others, such as xawtv, on the bttv web page.

See the bttv driver page if necessary:
