Ok 2.6.0-test3 with patches :) For X11 I have more luck. With the nv
driver fullscreen and with nvidia and the minion.de patch tvout. (ugh,
must install the libs again from toplevel Makefile.)

"v4lctl volume mute off" (man v4lctl) or adapt the prog from Bill
Eldridge in the "saa7134 stability" thread. Think this is not the point
here, because xawtv and other apps will unmute the device on startup if
possible. With v4l-info you can see the selcted input for the tuner.
Expect you have it on Television and not on Composite or SVHS. Then keep
it like you have sound in m$ is fine. 

Tuner=39 in tuner.h, that seems to make sense for NTSC!

This tuner Shaun Jackman and Wan Tat Chee got working on the FV2K, but
it is not in the autodetection.
Make sure you have a saa7134 and not a saa7130 chip. If your card has an
eeprom, it should be possible to get it in the autodetection. What you
have in dmesg after "modprobe saa7134 gpio_debug=1" (modinfo saa7134)
and is there a eeprom detected?

It may be possible to get it to work for you by reading this thread
http://www.riverside.org/archive/html/video4linux/2003-03/msg00373.html

Following that, start to set the audio_clock to 0x00187de7 and the
tuner_type to TUNER_LG_NTSC_NEW_TAPC in saa7134-cards.c for the Flyvideo
3000.

Hope there are no external audio-chips and let here know what happens.

good luck,

Hermann
