81 | -------------------------- | ||
82 | |||
83 | If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load | ||
84 | the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading | ||
85 | problems that you might face. | ||
86 | |||
87 | for example, if you happen to have a Twinhan and clones alongwith a FusionHDTV5 | ||
88 | card | ||
89 | |||
90 | $ modprobe bttv card=0x71 card=0x87 | ||
91 | |||
92 | Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the | ||
93 | physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones | ||
94 | and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5. | ||
95 | |||

99 | Nebula Digi TV 0x68 | ||
100 | PC HDTV 0x70 | ||
