CX88 chipset TV Card freezes the computer completely
I have an Airlink+ TV Card with a Conexant chipset in it (cx88 driver) it works in windows without freezing but the picture quality is crap and I don't use windows :D But anyway, the card works in linux for about 5 minute before the entire computer freezes and I have to restart manually. I understand this is kind of an offbrand card but the drivers should work.... When I actually load the cx88 module dmesg shows me that the DevID and the VendID is 0000 :confused: I have the latest CX88 driver and if you need more info about my system just let me know.
Thanks in advance, Ryan lspci shows: Code:
0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05) |
What kernel version are you using? Type uname -r to get the info.
Include options cx88xx core_debug=1 i2c_scan=1 i2c_debug=1 audio_debug=1 in /etc/modules.conf for 2.4.x kernel or /etc/modprobe.conf for 2.6.x kernel. Then post whats in /var/log/messages. You will have use su or login as root to access /var/log/messages. I know that Conexant are crap. That is why I suggest using video capture cards based on Philips chips (>=SAA713x). |
i swapped out the card for a bt878 card and its not freezing at all and i tested out the card in windows and the machine froze there too, im using gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r9 at the moment. i wont be able to test until i get the other card back in but im content with this card for the time being
