Well, I got my radio working (thanks Conor for suggesting that I RTFM -
adding radio=1 to the bttv modload line is very useful :-) ) but I am one
small step away from perfection. From a cold start, kradio doesn't work
because the relevant modules aren't loaded. In a kludgy way, it's easy to
fix - I just start kwintv first, which loads all the necessary modules, then
quit kwintv and start kradio but that's a mess. (I could also do sudo
/sbin/modprobe bttv but kwintv is less typing :-) ). An easy answer is to
write a little wrapper which simply does the modprobe and runs kradio but
that's a kludge too. So I have two questions:
What's the right way to do this i.e. how do I make kradio load the relevant
modules if they're not there ? And also, how do applications load modules
without root permission ? I can't do an insmod on a module as a normal user,
so how does an application such as kwintv do it ?
