I am trying to get Leadtek's 2000 expert card to work in fedora. I have installed the drivers cx88, and xawtv. It seems that xawtv does not know of any video devices. and the kernel thinks that TV card will work with bttv driver. Any ideas?

appreciate any help in advance.
Thanks

Can anyone suggest where to get help on this?

Thanks

try using tvtime....

I have bought Leadtek 2000 Expert card, also and I just want too see if it works...

xawtv showed only jammed (? is this the term) images, although few attempts were made.

for me the driver was built-in the debian-ised version of the kernel I use (2.6.5)


I hope I won't have to give back the card.....

I'll keep you informed of my progress.


I almost forgot, I also added my user to the video group...

And another thing,the cx88 driver is now in the mainstream linux kernel as of version 2.6.2, so grab a newer kernel if you don't have one...

this tv card (Leadtek 2000 Expert) has some problems. I installed windows just to convince myself is not a linux related problem the one that I had. (well, there is a linux rel probl)

in w32 the card (with the firmware) had proper sound only for one station with the firmware and it "worked" (strange frequency domain for my country) with DScaler.


HEY I made it work!!

receipe:

cx88xx
cx8800
tda9887

tvtime

Now to fix the sound....


is not fixable, the sound is not supported yet (I'll try the 2.6.6 patch over the 2.6.5 kernel tree, maybe I can make it work).

Sound works in mono mode for Hauppauge as I could find out from various places...

i have a leadtek winfast tv2000 xp
which worked on suse 9.0 without any extra drivers or anything.

i switched to redhat for a variety of reasons, but now i don't know where to find the drivers.

the sound works with the cx88 0.0.4 drivers with the qss hack (qss=1 - look for this on the video4linux mailing list)

I tried the debian 2.6.6 kernel but still has no sound
