[mythtv-users] bttv driver

OK, maybe I'm a bigger newbie than I thought I was, but I did not see any 
specific option in the kernel for bttv (does this mean they are built-into 
Video For Linux?) , all I saw was the following:
<M> Video For Linux
Video For Linux  --->
Radio Adapters  --->

Then I go into Video For Linux....
[*]   V4L information in proc filesystem (NEW)
 --- Video Adapters
< >   Mediavision Pro Movie Studio Video For Linux (NEW)
< >   CPiA Video For Linux (NEW)

I originally had compiled everything to be built-in.  I will try setting it 
as a module next time.  And how do I know if my bt848 card is being 
recognized properly?  It will show up during boot-time right (or dmesg)? 
Because if that's the case, wouldn't it have shown up since I had already 
compiled Video4Linux support and the drivers are built-in?

Thanks for all the help....
