[ATrpms-users] Re: ivtv modules and lirc not starting up on startup

[Taylor Dondich]

Well, I've added the info to modprobe.conf, but ivtv doesn't seem to be 
loading.  Below is my modprobe.conf.  Can anyone point out any issues 
with this?  I'm really stinky when it comes to Linux's module 
initialization.  I'm a FreeBSD guy.  ;)  Thanks for helping the noob out!

Contents of modprobe.conf:
------------------------------------------
alias eth0 tulip
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias char-major-195* nvidia
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 mpg_buffers=90
options tuner type=2 # NTSC tuner
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
------------------------------------------

Thanks again.  :)
