Suceed in watching Tv with xawtv !!

Tested on
Arch64
Amd64-3200
Nvidia6600
SigmaTVII tvcard (card=44, tuner=9 ) <--- kernel document cardlist

In kernel document and instructon, /etc/modprob.conf option is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# i2c
alias char-major-89     i2c-dev
options i2c-core        i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit    bit_test=1

# bttv
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options bttv            card=44 radio=1
options tuner           debug=1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but I failed....
'alias char-major-89 i2c-dev' and related options cause nvidia to fail loading..
and  in bttv, 'options tuner debug=1, options tuner=9' or 'options types=9... etc' doesn't work...

So I fixed...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# i2c
#alias char-major-89     i2c-dev
#options i2c-core        i2c_debug=1
#options i2c-algo-bit    bit_test=1

# bttv
alias char-major-81     videodev
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options bttv            card=44 tuner=9   
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now it work very well..

Nobody says "options bttv card=44 tuner=9" even document. I found it in lucky throung several times attempt...
'option tuner xxx' doesent' work, .....
I am satisfied with watching Tv now.. but I wonder why tuner option is not available..
