incorrect TV card
I have just re-installed Mandrake 10, and my TV card is not recognised correctly. I have added the recommended line in /etc/modules as below:
probeall scsi_hostadapter advansys probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 options bttv gbuffers=8 card=72 options ide-cd dma=1 After booting, dmesg shows this: bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:02:0b.0, irq: 9, latency: 32, mmio: 0xf5000000 bttv0: using: *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC *** [card=0,autodetected] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffc0ff [init] bttv: readee error bttv0: using tuner=-1 The card should be a bttv card=72, can someone tell me how to fix this? |
johng;check the ldp hdwr data documentation base http://tldp.org/HOWTO/
Hardware-HOWTO. find ur hardware for compatibilty n support. if not then most probable not supported. |
Hi Penguin4
Thank you for that. The short answer was to do: modprobe bttv card=72 For some reason Mandrake 10 Official does not load v4l even tho it is in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" # 3D layer Somewhere I read that this was a known problem. It's a nuisance having to do it manually. |
johng; yes pain! ah yes but unavoidable sorry. may have to try looking at howto,s on modules clues abound with workarounds.
