TV card!
 
I have Mercury TV Tuner Card, i cannot find any drivers for SuSe 10.How do I configure my TV card in SuSe 10?

assuming it's based on the brooktree 878 just run "modprobe bttv" and it should bve ready to use. there will be no specific driver, becuase it's supported at chipset level, not manufacturer level.

Can you check the chipset of the card and the tuner?
To use the card you need to load the module with the correct options.
In most cases all you need to do is
Code:
modprobe bttv card=x tuner=y
where x,y are the correct values from
/usr/src/linux-<version>/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv
and
/usr/src/linux-<version>/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner

ahh right, so it's not a bttv card, use the saa7134 driver instead the - "modprobe saa7134"

d0mba 11-28-2005 01:13 PM
how do i use this driver?How do I install it?Where can I download this driver?

After loading driver (modprobe saa7134) you have to install software for watching and recording TV.Xaw TV ,TV Time ,XDTV will be useful.
PS
Type in console as root:
# modprobe saa7134

d0mba 11-28-2005 01:38 PM
where can i get this driver?

acid_kewpie 11-28-2005 02:17 PM
like the guy there just said, it should already be on your system. there is no "get". Please pay careful attention to the replies

d0mba 11-28-2005 02:21 PM
lol...sorry about that...but how do i load it?

acid_kewpie 11-28-2005 04:02 PM
good grief.. we've told you twice exactly how to load it...

d0mba 11-28-2005 04:46 PM
when i enter modprobe saa7134 card=x tuner=y in console nothing happends,and when I enter /usr/src/linux-<version>/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv
or
/usr/src/linux-<version>/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner

i get a responde that that directory does not exists.Am I entering something wronge in a console?

nothing will "happen" it will just load the driver in the background.

By the way isn't there some graphic tool for setting up TV card in SuSE? Some kind of control center or whatever?

acid_kewpie 11-30-2005 02:29 PM
That'd be Yast i guess, but i've never used it myself
