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.
Originally posted by d0mba I have Mercury TV Tuner Card, i cannot find any drivers for SuSe 10.How do I configure my TV card in SuSe 10?
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
sorry i am a total nub for linux,i have youst started to use suse 10,so i dont know anything.Can someone explane me from the beginning how do i configure my card.
My chipset is
Philips SAA7130HL Multimedia Capture Device
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
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?
