Philips saa7134 analog TV card not working


hi,

I'm using a slack12 machine with a 2.6.22 kernel. I think I got the driver compiled in, some modules are loaded at boot time:

Code:
root@wayne:/usr/local/tvtime-1.0.1# lsmod

The device /dev/video0 exists and gives some output if I open it with cat. My first problem was that I couldn't compile tvtime:

Code:
root@wayne:/usr/local/tvtime-1.0.1# make
[...]

        then mv -f ".deps/tvtime-kdetv_tomsmocomp.Tpo" ".deps/tvtime-kdetv_tomsmocomp.Po"; \

        then mv -f ".deps/greedyh.Tpo" ".deps/greedyh.Po"; \
        else rm -f ".deps/greedyh.Tpo"; exit 1; \
        fi

Older releases also don't work, the same with xawtv. Then I tried kdetv 0.8.9, but it doen't find my TV card.

Is there a way to compile tvtime? Is it possible to watch with kaffeine after some configuration?

You need to patch the source (latest release is from 2005), i think it won`t compile with gcc-4.1.

Grab it here http://ecarux.de/ports/tvtime
Thanks to Hannes Mayer, who maintains this port for CRUX.

You can also try tvtime 1.0.2 from linuxpackages: http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=9978. It is for Slackware 11.0, but works fine on my Slackware 12.0 system.

I did also have some problem compiling my frontend program for my tv-card. I used mplayer with another set of kernelheaders, I think i found those in the /extra directory on the slackware cd.
