Hi, I'm trying to get a TV card running for the first time and am a bit lost, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a TV Excel card, which I'm told that outside of Australia is called a Prolink and equates to card 72. I load the following modules insmod videodev modprobe bttv [card=72] and lsmod gives me... Module Size Used by tvaudio 9776 0 (autoclean) (unused) bttv 58448 0 msp3400 14320 0 (autoclean) (unused) tuner 8304 0 (autoclean) (unused) i2c-algo-bit 7040 1 [bttv] i2c-core 13152 0 [tvaudio bttv msp3400 tuner i2c-algo-bit] i2c-old 3680 0 (unused) videodev 4800 3 [bttv] /var/log/messages says... bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:0c.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 02:0c.1 bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 02:0c.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, memory: 0xef000000 bttv0: using: BT878(Prolink PV-BT878P+9B (P) [card=72,insmod option] i2c-core.o: adapter bt848 #0 registered as adapter 0. bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found tvaudio: TV audio decoder + audio/video mux driverJul 31 11:27:56 winona kernel: tvaudio: known chips: tda9840,tda9873h,tda9874a,tda9850,tda9855,tea6300,tea6420,tda8425,pic16c54 (PV951) i2c-core.o: driver generic i2c audio driver registered. bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok When I don't use card=72 I see bttv0: using: BT878( *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC **) [card=0,autodetected] So I assume that means my card is detected and working. But when I run xawtv I see... v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? ioctl: VIDIOCSYNC(0): Interrupted system call ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=15,size=48x32): Device or resource busy ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=5,size=48x32): Device or resource busy ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=4,size=48x32): Device or resource busy ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=1,size=48x32): Device or resource busy ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=13,size=48x32): Device or resource busy no way to get: 384x288 32 bit TrueColor (LE: bgr-) I've tried this under both the default Mandrake 8.1 kernel and a vanilla 2.18 kernel. Does anyone know what's wrong? In retrospect that message PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:0c.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 02:0c.1 looks interesting but I don't know of any device that's using IRQ 11 and how to find out what device 02.0c.1 could be, I'll poke around in bios I guess but in the meantime is there anything obvious to an expert that I'm doing wrong? I've been banging my head against this for days without enlightenment. Thanks, Steven
