[gentoo-user] bttv option in kernel?

[gentoo-user] bttv option in kernel?

[RYAN vAN GINNEKEN]

Hello all i am need some help getting a video capture card working it supposedly uses the bttv driver.  It shows itself in lspci like this only 4 times cause it has for chips i think. 

03:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
03:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)

However i cannot find the bttv driver only the btcx_risc (successor) did some googling and found this post http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-696747-highlight-bttv.html 

My problem is similar i think but cannot seem to get it sorted could someone please kindly give me a hand?  I have pasted a few bits of my .config file that i think might be relative.

# CONFIG_TELCLOCK is not set
CONFIG_DEVPORT=y
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_BOARDINFO=y
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y

#
# I2C Algorithms
#
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCF=m
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOPCA=m

#

CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_CAPTURE_DRIVERS=y
# CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG is not set

# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI is not set
..snip..

Select the BT848, then you'll see the driver for the BT878.
