Topic: Zoneminder on SME 7.4

[Chummers]

Hello everyone,

I have installed zoneminder onto a test SME 7.4 box, i have zoneminder itself is working ok, but i seem to have run into trouble with the drivers for the capture card..

Now, I have two capture cards, one is a FLYview Prime 34+ (which uses the SAA7134 driver)

I have also recently bought a 4 port USB capture card off ebay (Easycap002) which i think uses the stk1160 drivers. (i know i may be on rocky ground here!)

Now I am really green when i comes to anything with drivers/modules ect, so i was wondering if anyone could help me get these recognised in SME.

When i do a lspci i get

and if i do uname-r, i get...

Code: [Select]

2.6.9-89.0.16.ELsmp

What i could really do knowing is,
1)  how do i get a driver loaded in SME?
2) i think i need to compile the driver (they are .h) is this trues?
3) do i need to recompile the kernel - if so any pointers on how to do this??

Is there anyone out there that can help please?

Any help would be appreciated..

Regards,

Chummers..

1: man modprobe, check with dmesg
2: probably yes. Quick look: locate saa713
3: probably not. You need to install developer tools. man make etc...

HTH.

Well after many hours of looking found i managed to get the Synek Easycap working the frame rate was absolutly shocking, I went out and bought a dedicated PCI capture card that does 30FPS rather than the 1FPS I was getting from the Syntek.

Lesson learnt, you get what you pay for!
