Hi!
I got a problem with my Hauppauge WinTV Theater card under Linux.
The problem seems to be caused by IRQ sharing. First I had my card assigned
to IRQ 5 together with my SCSI controller. I assigned my TV card to a free
IRQ, IRQ 11, in the bios. Although now cat /proc/interrupts doesn't show any
more sharing, ksysctrl tells me that IRQ 11 is shared by my Brooktree chip -
Audio device and my Brooktree chip - video device!
To give you an idea, here's what harddrake (hardware detection program under
Linux Mandrake) tells me exactly:
"Brooktree Corporation" MODEL="Bt878" TYPE="tvcard" BUS="PCI" MODULE="bttv"
POS="0" ID="109e036e"
"Brooktree Corporation" MODEL="Bt878" TYPE="tvcard" BUS="PCI" MODULE="bttv"
POS="0" ID="109e0878"
(twice Brooktree, bttv)
Therefore I think I can't achieve to have a valuable result under for example
kwintv (I only get a local TV channel, in black and white, without any sound;
I even think that that my card receives the channel without the cable
(antenna) but directly)
Anyone having a good advice?

P.S. I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.2, kernel 2.2.17. My card works without any
problem under Win98.
Here are some more informations about my system

"automagic" configuration by Linux Mandrake, I didn't even get the local
