sorry didn't know the rules and could not decide which forum was best for the thread.
Anyways, I will try to post here for the thread from now on.
I would repost my original post with some updates since I tried a few more things.
I saw the following how-to for wintv page and that helped quite a bit since I am trying to install ATI tv wonder pro.
http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~jcs116/wintv_cx88.html
I am somewhat new to linux. I was having problems with sound on redhat 9 and fc1 and fc2 so i installed mandrake 10.0.
Now, I am not sure if i have tv wonder pro drivers installed or not. During installation it did seem to have found a tuner card but showed as happuage|win tv instead of ATI tv wonder pro, which I assumed is ok as they may use the same driver/chipset. Now I am not sure if the driver is already installed or not and what I should do next. I have been trying to read forums about this but since I am new to linux so many times cannot make much with the information.
For now I can give you the following information that may help.
in /lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88 I have the following files
cx8800.ko.gz and cx88xx.ko.gz.
In /etc/modprobe.conf I found the following line after installation of mandrake,
options cx8800 radio=0 card= gbuffers=4
I am not sure if the driver is already installed or I need to install it still. Also card= does not have any value. Is it missing? If you know what could be wrong, can you please help? I have an ATI tv wonder pro card.
I assumed that the driver is not yet installed since in the how-to, kernel used is 2.6.5 and i only have 2.6.3-7. So I download the cx-0.0.4.tar.gz, untarred it and followed instructions from the how-to, modprobe seemed to work fine on i2c_algo_bit, v4l2_common, v4l1_compat, tuner, video_buf, btcx_risc. Then I tried to do insmod ./cx88xx.ko ; insmod ./cx8800.ko. Now the first insmod instruction does not say anything but when I try cx8800.ko, it says
insmod: error inserting './cx8800.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
so I tried to see the dmesg, and here is what I got at the end
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
cx88xx: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_register_device
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_device_release
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc

cx8800: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_register_device
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
cx8800: Unknown symbol video_device_release
So now I am not sure if insmod worked fine on cx88xx.ko either? If you have any suggestions, can you please email me. I have been trying to get help elsewhere but not many people seem to respond.
Many thanks.
