Hello, i have some problems getting to run my Winnov Videum card on a Red Hat Linux 8.0 box with a custom 2.4.21 kernel. I Have testet the same card under Windows without any problems. I've loaded the following modules: wnvvid wnv videodevX nvidia and every time i start xawtv or another video programm i get a green screen without real video. Here is a step by step how i set up the drivers: I've set up the folloging symlink to my fresh compiled and bootet linux kernel: /usr/src/linux -> /pt/mwf/uwf/linux/kernel/linux-2.4.21-cluster1-winnov/ Compiling videodevX-20020330.tar.bz2 had no problems (make && make install) Compiling videodevX-20020330.tar.bz2 had the following issue: [root@cluster1 videum]# make install make: /scripts/pathdown.sh: Command not found cp -v wnv.o wnvvid.o /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/media/video/ ; \ cp -v wnvaud.o /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/sound/ ; \ /sbin/depmod -a `wnv.o' -> `/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/media/video/wnv.o' `wnvvid.o' -> `/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/media/video/wnvvid.o' `wnvaud.o' -> `/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/sound/wnvaud.o' cp: cannot create regular file `/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/sound/wnvaud.o': No such file or directory After mkdir /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/sound did make && make install work just fine. ffmpeg has been installend and compiled w.o. problems too. I inserted /etc/modules.conf the following: alias char-major-81 videodevX options wnvvid unit_video=0 alias char-major-81-0 wnvvid alias char-major-14 wnvaud And run the following commands: mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video The /etc/modules.conf looks like this now: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 sk98lin alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias char-major-81 videodevX options wnvvid unit_video=0 alias char-major-81-0 wnvvid alias char-major-14 wnvaud alias char-major-195 nvidia After a reboot lsmod shows the following: Module Size Used by Tainted: P nvidia 1671360 10 (autoclean) After loading the drivers manually or the module autoloader the following appeard: Module Size Used by Tainted: P wnvvid 35436 0 (unused) wnv 89856 0 [wnvvid] v4l_compat 9288 0 (unused) videodevX 21576 1 [wnvvid wnv v4l_compat] nvidia 1671360 10 (autoclean) Now all video applications i've tested so far only show a green screen on the SVHS input! Would be nice if someone knows thats the problem? Thanks. Cheers, Paul B.
