I am having problems getting a new Hauppauge WinTV Theater card to work in linux (it works in Windows, so its not the hardware). I have a RedHat 7.1 install with the latest kernel (2.4.12). Every time I run a tv tuner application such as xawtv or kwintv it will show a partial window of tv static for a second or two before completely hanging the system. When I start xawtv, an informational window pops up over the top of the tv display window and as long as it is covering the tv display, it will not hang. Is it possible that it is a problem with my video card? I am using an ATI Rage 128 card. I really appreciate any help anyone may be able to provide! More details on my setup are below. Thanks, Jonathan I have tried upgrading to the latest of all relevant software: Kernel: 2.4.12 BTTV Driver: 0.7.82 XFree86: 4.1.0 xawtv: 3.64 kwintv: 0.6.5 My /etc/modules.conf file contains the following: alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options i2c-core i2c_debug=1 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv card=10 radio=1 options tuner debug=1 And the syslog seems to show the bttv module loading correctly Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.82 loaded Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture Oct 14 19:10:10 tv kernel: bttv: Host bridge is PCI device 10b9:1647 (Acer Laboratories Inc.
