ah....and another thing.

i see you have no DGA support.
that means that the v4l-driver can't find the framebuffer adress.
you can supply it as follows:

enter : " #cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep framebuffer "

you get smth. back like :

**) RADEON(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xf4000000
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xf4000000

now f4000000 is the framebuffer adress.
configure v4l with :

#v4l-conf -a 0xf4000000

that way, the v4l driver is able to use video-overlay wich gives a better image.

btw.: v4l-conf comes with xawtv.
if that doesn't work for you ( i think it will... ) you can also use "kv4lsetup -a <addr>"

Yes of course I have 0.8.5 , but I unistall it at and install 8.2, which don-t freeze
But old problem come out again, with command lspci I get OK

00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
00:0d.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

but command dmesg |grep bttv doesn`t give me anything, so I`m afraid the system dosn`t recognize the card again.


the command cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep framebuffer give me just

(**) VESA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 24

you can do " #modprobe bttv ".

and i guess for the framebuffer-adress, you'll have to look
into that log file to see if it's there

then it's probably ok.
take a look at the messages with:

cat /var/log/messages |grep bttv

( note the time mark.... )

Ok kdetv starts OK, it-recognize the tvcard and the programs.

I hope the final problem to resolve is that i soo just black screen with a litle noise on top. Is this a wuestion of video plugins configuration?

did you already try to find channels ?
....and did you get your framebuffer adresss ? and set it....

if you see that noise, it's ok.
but you're not using overlay atm.
you could try to select the v4l driver and configure it to use overlay.

Yes i find channels (it find the right number of them)but all are black with noise on top.
I tray
root@localhost:~# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep framebuffer
(**) VESA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 24

it didn`t give me the number


I tray with the overlay but nothing better, just the noise disappear. I tray all other options but nothing better.

that's because the f.b.- isn't found.
use:

#less /var/log/Xorg.0.log

or just kwrite to scroll through that file
and find a f.b-adress.

but also without that, you should be able to scan for channels.
doesn't it find anything ? ( check cables etc... )

Yes it founded channels without the f.b. addressee.

I check the Xorg.0.log file and it didn`t find the framebuffer addressee. Is it possible not to have it?

No, I have just black screen (with noise on top) without sound. And the cables is OK.


about framebuffer I get only this

root@localhost:/var/log# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep framebuffer
(**) VESA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 24

I tray xawtv and it-s the same, evritihing ok just the screen is black and without sound. How to find channels in xawtv?
