Re: tv card newbie prob — Video for Linux

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it tonight and see what happens.

My tv card is also shown as Chronos Video Shuttle II. That confused me when i first installed it. But FlyVideo & Chronos shuttle are listed as same in the Cardlist of bttv documentation, so i understood it's not the problem. Then i thought it was sth about my Intel 810e graphic controller chipset, but you say it's only about weak configuration..

So let me know if i'm wrong :

I'll insert the following two lines to modules.conf _before_ the stuff yast inserts :

options tuner=5 post-install bttv /sbin/modprobe "-k " tuner

Then i'll start xavtv, with which i couldn't succeed to use before, so i'll have to RTFM..

And then i'll use KWinTv again to search for channels.

And won't i need to rmmod & insmod anything after editing modules.conf?

I've been searching help for this last two weeks, but now i think i'm in the right place.

Thanks !

well, i've owned a flyvideoII-card, using it with suse 8.0. i inserted manually in /etc/modules.conf: options tuner=5 post-install bttv /sbin/modprobe "-k " tuner (inserted before the yast-generated-videocardpart begins) the card had been detected as Chronos Video Shuttle II i'm in germany, pal-system. perhaps you have to set the tuner in a simliar way, because i suffered your problem also.... ah, and then i started xawtv once before starting kwintv, after that doing the frequency-scan ... - i don't know why, but kwintv needed that procedure! hope, it helps... joerg, berlin -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
