I'm running SuSE 8.2 an have a Hauppauge WinTV PCi Card. From my little researchi've found out that it should work automatically. But it doesn't; all it does is ACT like it's doing something then i get a:
The application KWinTV crashed an caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
I use Xawtv myself. But check your kernel configuration and make sure all the modules are loaded, one for audio, one for video, and one for the mixer. You also need the I2C core and I2C bitbanging enabled.
run lsmod to see if they were loaded at boot, if not you will have to run modprobe for them.
