## 6. Appendix - Arguments for All Modules

Items preceded with a "*" are only available in the 0.6.4h series driver

    videodev.o
            this is the basic video4linux module, all video
            drivers (incl. bttv) register themselves here.

    i2c.o
            the generic i2c module. It does much of the i2c bus
            management, all other modules (except videodev.o)
            use this one

            insmod args:
                    scan=1          scan the bus for i2c devices
                    verbose=0       shut up i2c
                    i2c_debug=1     for debugging, it sticks the
                                    whole (software) i2c bus
                                    traffic to the syslog

    bttv.o
            the bt848 (grabber chip) driver

            insmod args:
                    remap=adr       remap Bt848 memory to adr<<20
                    vidmem=base     frame buffer address>>20 (of graphic card)
                    triton1=0/1     for Triton1 compatibility
                                    Triton1 is automatically recognized
                                    but this might also help with other chipsets
                    pll=0/1/2       pll settings

            remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separted arguments
            (for multiple boards).  The CARD and PLL defines from the Makefile
            are used as defaults.

    msp3400.o
            The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
            stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.

            insmod args:
                    debug=1/2       print some debug info to the syslog,
                                    2 is more verbose.

    *tea6300.o
            The driver for the tea6300 fader chip.  If you have a stereo
            card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
            one.  This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
            Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).

            insmod args:
                    debug=1         print some debug info to the syslog.

    *tda8425.o
            The driver for the tda8425 fader chip.  This driver used to be
            part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
            anymore, try loading this module.

            insmod args:
                    debug=1         print some debug info to the syslog.

    *tda9855.o
            The driver for the tda9855 stereo decoder / audio processor chip.

            insmod args:
                    debug=1         print some debug info to the syslog.

    *dpl3518.o
            Driver for the dpl3518a Dolby Pro Logic Processor

            insmod args:
                    debug=1         print some debug info to the syslog.

    tuner.o
            The tuner driver.  You need this unless you want to use only
            with a camera or external tuner ...

            insmod args:
                    debug=1         print some debug info to the syslog
                    type=n          type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
                                    0: Temic PAL tuner
                                    1: Philips PAL_I tuner
                                    2: Philips NTSC tuner

    i2c_chardev.o
            provides a character device for i2c bus access.  Works for 2.1.x
            only, not compiled by default.
