I'm running Mandriva LE 2005 x86_64 on a AMD Athlon64, GIGABYTE nForce4 Ultra Mobo, GeForce 6600FX 256MB, 1GB RAM, with a PCI MSI TV@nywhere card.

When I run tvtime i get this error:

Running tvtime 0.9.15.
rtctimer: Cannot set periodic interval: Inappropriate ioctl for device
rtctimer: Cannot set periodic interval: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/t0k3n/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
videoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such device


I've also tried xawtv and I get this error:

This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.11-6mdksmp)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device

I can get kdetv running but its not detecting my tv card. When I go into harddrake it detects correctly...I think. This is what it says:

I followed instructions from another forum post that allowed me to create a /dev/video0 file from the terminal but that still didn't work. I tried modprobe bttv but that didn't help. When I run Modprobe cx8800 I get this "FATAL: Module cx8800 not found." Can someone help me out?

the driver is "cx88" not "cx8800" http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/cx88.html

I ran modprobe cx88 but I got this error:

FATAL: Module cx88 not found.

What exactly does modprobe do? I think I read somewhere that its the command that install the driver but I'm not sure. Do I need to download a new driver? Thanks for the help...

yeah, modprobe basically loads the driver. it should be sitting in /lib/modules/2.X.Y/ somewhere... the driver has been included in the stock kernels for a little while now i thought, your distro shouldn't have any problems... run "find /lib/modules/2.x.y | grep cx" to see if it is there or not. if it's not then i guess you'd need to either recompile your kernel or install the single drvier itself. seems very odd that it's not there though. Can't think of a good reason to have it bult into the kernel... Mandrake do do odd things though...

I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I installed from the x86_64 1 CD version. I've seen that there is a 3 CD verison and DVD version. But no one ever mentions the 1 CD version. I assume the 1CD verison comes with the least amout of software but I would have thought the kernels were the same. Anyway, when I run "find /lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdksmp | grep cx" this is what comes back.

Since I don't see cx88 I guess that means the driver isn't installed. I saw that you posted a link in your first reply...I'll try that driver. But I haven't installed a driver in linux before so this should be interesting. Is there a 32-bit and 64-bit driver or are they all the same? Any info would be helpful. Thanks again...

I can't even get the driver installed. I'm using http://icculus.org/~jcspray/wintv_cx88.html as the tutorial but I'm getting an error when trying to make the *.ko files. When I run the make command i get this error:

[t0k3n@Linux64 cx88-0.0.4]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdksmp/build SUBDIRS=/home/t0k3n/cx88-0.0.4 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdksmp/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

I tried running the command as root too but that didn't work. I'm really not sure what else to do. Can someone point in the right direction for installing the cx88 driver?

I upgraded to Mandriva 2006 LE Beta but it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me out?
