+- Make sure you have a recent 2.0.x kernel (I recommend AT LEAST 2.0.33!)
+  or a recent 2.1.x kernel.
+  Older kernels might lead to problems. 
+
+- Do NOT compile videodev into your kernel!
+  Use the module supplied with bttv.
+
+- Edit "driver/Makefile":
+
+  - If you do NOT have a Miro card:
+    Adjust TUNER to a number between 0 and 7. 
+
+    This number has the following meaning:
+
+    0: Temic PAL tuner
+    1: Philips PAL_I tuner
+    2: Philips NTSC tuner
+    3: Philips SECAM tuner
+    4: no tuner
+    5: Philips PAL tuner
+    6: Temic NTSC tuner
+    7: Temic PAL tuner
+
+    The number corresponds to the number (-1) given at the GPIO port of the
+    Bt848 on Miro cards.
+
+
+  - Adjust CARD to one of the numbers below:
+
+    0: Auto-Detect
+    1: Miro
+    2: Hauppauge
+    3: STB
+    4: Intel
+    5: Diamond
+    6: AVerMedia
+
+
+  - You may have to adjust BTTV_MAJOR to a different number depending on your
+    kernel version. The official number 81 does not work on some setups.
+    But instead of changing it, better update to a newer kernel.
+
+  - If you have a Bt848a or Bt849 on your board you might have to
+    uncomment: -DUSE_PLL 
+
+- do a "make" in the main directory.
+
+If you have Hauppauge card read "README.HAUPPAUGE" before proceeding.
+
+- type "make ins"
+
+  This creates the bttv devices in /dev and installs the bttv module
+
+  Look in the kernel log file (/var/adm/syslog or /var/log/kernel or something
+  else depending on your /etc/syslogd.conf or just call "dmesg")
+  and see what bttv reported (lines starting with "bttv:")
+  If the installation failed and you send e-mail to me always include those
+  lines! Dumps of the insmod output alone do not help at all.
+
+- Start X11 in hi or true color mode 
+  8 bit color is also supported but really ugly!
+  (If you have an S3 card you might have to start X11 before installing
+   the module!)
+
+  If you have Motif or LessTif, "xtvscreen" in the "XTV" directory should
+  have been compiled with the "make" above.
+  Otherwise use the statically linked version which should be available 
+  on the web site you got bttv from.
+  Read the documentation in "XTV" and start xtvscreen.
+
+- make applications by typing "make" in "apps"
+
