hi, i'm trying to get a hauppauge! WinTV card to work with a RH7.1 box running the stock 2.4.2-2 kernel. all modules seem to be loading fine: [root@stamp2 douglas]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by ide-cd 26848 0 (autoclean) cdrom 27232 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] msp3400 13520 1 (autoclean) bttv 59888 0 i2c-algo-bit 7328 1 [bttv] videodev 5024 3 [bttv] tuner 4240 1 tvaudio 8288 0 (autoclean) (unused) i2c-core 13408 0 (autoclean) [msp3400 bttv i2c-algo-bit tuner tvaudio] i810 80256 0 agpgart 23392 6 (autoclean) nfs 79008 1 (autoclean) lockd 52464 1 (autoclean) [nfs] sunrpc 61328 1 (autoclean) [nfs lockd] eepro100 16624 1 (autoclean) nls_iso8859-1 2880 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4384 1 (autoclean) vfat 9392 1 (autoclean) fat 32672 0 (autoclean) [vfat] usb-uhci 20720 0 (unused) usbcore 49664 1 [usb-uhci] here's what i've got: 01:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06) 01:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02) 01:09.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02) [douglas@stamp2 douglas]$ ls -la /dev/video* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Apr 19 02:17 /dev/video -> /dev/video0 crwxrwxrwx 1 douglas root 81, 0 Mar 23 23:38 /dev/video0 crwxrwxrwx 1 douglas root 81, 1 Mar 23 23:38 /dev/video1 crwxrwxrwx 1 douglas root 81, 2 Mar 23 23:38 /dev/video2 crwxrwxrwx 1 douglas root 81, 3 Mar 23 23:38 /dev/video3 /dev/video_out: total 108 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Apr 18 21:28 . drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 102400 Apr 19 02:54 .. crw------- 1 douglas root 10, 204 Mar 23 23:38 em8300 crw------- 1 douglas root 10, 206 Mar 23 23:38 em8300_ma crw------- 1 douglas root 10, 205 Mar 23 23:38 em8300_mv crw------- 1 douglas root 10, 207 Mar 23 23:38 em8300_sp xawtv runs, and i can get radio stations and hear broadcast audio, but the screen is just black. i'm mostly just interested in grabbing video from the s-video input, but i don't get anything but a black screen when i switch to s-video. tvset runs (if i run it as root, otherwise it gives me "Set buffer: Operation not permitted) and does give me an image from the camera, but it's sort of streaked across the whole screen and seems to freak out my display. i'm not getting any interesting error messages (that i can find), and i really don't know where to go looking to solve this. the card works fine under windows on the same box. since i am getting some sort of image with tvset it seems that the card is installed correctly... any ideas? thanks, douglas -- douglas irving repetto http://music.columbia.edu/~douglas http://shoko.calarts.edu/musicdsp http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/dorkbotnyc
