I would start here: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Supported_hardware

AFAIK the driver was pulled in the linux kernel 2.6 git sometime ago, but I don't know what release version it has made it into if any.

2.6.26

But the v4l folks advise you roll your own as the one in the that kernel is even more beta than what they have now.

I am eager to ditch windows on the media PC and found that some Ubuntu folks got it working. If Ubuntu cuold do it I figure debian sid can. I stink at compiling kernels, though.

Ok so here is the latest wiki: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18

As far as compiling kernels, using debians kernel packaging system is far better than old school ways - http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html. The hardest part is selecting all of drivers for the components in your system and functionality needs within one compile attempt.

I still have that HVR-1600 which has sat boxed since purchase in October 2007 -- when I decided that I wasn't going the windows route. I picked up a 150MCE card to tide me over and couldn't be happer with it. I'll start testing that driver when I've seen confirmation that ATSC is working.

Supposedly it is for an Ubuntu-er or two http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=813429 check posts 20, 36and 61. The nvidia problem is solved with vmalloc setting on boot and the analog sound something to do with the default freq setting too high. And another success for knoppmyth http://members.shaw.ca/paulsid/pages...+asus-m3a.html but don't know if that included ATSC.

I don't have ATSC over air signal though I do have QAM through cable, haven't bothered with splitting the cable in windows to try it out though.

For now, the compiling is a bit over my head. Tempting almost to give Mythbuntu a try but I have installed sid on the media pc and will wait for a few kernel releases down the road.

Already did it.
Installed as it was in documentation but no luck
the same story again. I'll check it again this evening and give you an answer.

This is what I got after doing first part of instalation.
This I got after I did: make install in spcagui folder.

Where I go wrong. Everything before went good.

before you ran make install did you run ./configure and make ?

Do you even have a compile environment installed ? standard header files that are part of gcc appear to be missing. looks like, at the very least you need to install the following packages:

gcc
libc6-dev
libsdl-dev

What distribution are you running ?

and then do the compile again...

./configure
make
make install

I did as it was written in manual:
Compiling it
============
as root
goes to gspcav1 directory and run:
./gspca_build

This went good, the whole procedure


After that I tried above to run v4l app and I got that errors.

I'm new to Ubuntu so it is so difficul to me to know what exact to do.

My Linux information:

Linux DualX2 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

How to installabove suggested packages ?
