Hy everybody. I have a problem. I recently installed SuSe 9.0 and i tried to see if my Pinnacle PcTv Studio Pro tv tuner card works, but i receive some errors. At first it recognized my card automaticaly, but when i try to open any capture program like xawtv it crashes with the following error:
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-202-smp4G)
can't open /dev/video0: Function not implemented
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented
v4l: open /dev/video0: Function not implemented
no video grabber device available
Seems that it is not properly configured. How do i do that? Do i need kernel 2.6.x to get it to work?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated, me being a bit od a newbie. 10x
i did that but nothing happens. I did a little searching on xawtv's web site and it says there that :
error type:
open /dev/video0: No such device
The device doesn't exist. Means there is no driver module for the hardware loaded yet. Fix your hardware setup.
So i tried to setup it with yast2 but i get an error right before completing setup saying:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
my video card is nvidia geforce 4 mx440. i upgraded my driver, and now, though it still says with some applications : an't open /dev/video0 , .. . xawtv starts up , but i can only see a blue screen. I figured this could probably be beacuse the right video source is not selected. how do i do this ?
ok. So your using the 5336 drivers from nvidia? Or did they update those again...
And.. hrm. Check to see if you have a /dev/video, and what it points to. If it points to /dev/video0, delete it and remake it to point to 1... then you can try 2 and 3 and 4 the same way to see if any of them work.
...yesterday i switched to mandrake 10 in a desperate attempt to set up my tv card. After some hours of searching i found out that my tv card is actually supposed to be using saa7134 and it is a pctv stereo, not pro. So i used saa7134 and now i have picture but i have another problem. Sound does not work. All i get is white noise. After running dmesg i get
saa7134[0]/audio: audio carrier scan failed, using 5.500 MHz [default].
What can i do to make it work. please help
i'd say avoid using the internal sound extraction until these new gen of drivers are mnore complete. just connecting a standard external patch cable should be the best way forward.
no answer ... hmm
seems to be quite of a problem , beacuse i searched many sites and there are lots of people with the same problem.
Anyways, can someone please post some emails to experienced people in this domain, who will be able to help me ? please. i've been trying to get my card working for 4 days now and i really want to be able to watch tv ... with sound..
i've just managed to get a cheapo saa7134 based card working with suse 9.0, and i had sound problems similar to yours..
go into yast2, and change your card type to 'proteus pro (philips reference design)', don't change anything else. then reboot the system and check all ok. oh, and one other thing you might want to check in your machine's bios - disable PnP aware operating system or set your operating system to 'other' (or similar, as opposed to win 9x, etc).
10x but that didn't help at all. With those settings not even the picture is working. I'll keep surfing the web in order to find something useful. And i mentioned above, i'm using mandrake 10 now, with kernel 2.6.3 ..
