Hi to everybody:
I was trying to get my EasyTv card work on a linux 2.4.9.
I had this card already setuped correctly on a 2.2.X kernel.
When I read the CARDLIST file of the 2.4.9 tarball I saw that
my card was supported (card=62 - BESTBUY Easy TV (bt878)) so
I loaded the modules (with bttv card=62).
I could see video only not sound. So I checked if the tvcard
values were the same as the arguments I used on the 2.2.X
kernel. And they were diferent, so I changed values and the
card now works correctly.
So It seems that my card is not supported yet, can
someone confirm this?
If this is true, I will send the tvcard arguments to Gerd Knorr
so he can put it on the v4l distribution.
By the way, Here you have the modules and the parameters that I used:
#i2c
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# bttv
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=62
options tuner debug=1
And the tvcard array's values:
{
name: "BESTBUY Easy TV (bt878) - new one",
video_inputs: 3,
audio_inputs: 1,
tuner: 0,
svhs: 2,
gpiomask: 0x551e00,
muxsel: { 2, 3, 1, 1},
audiomux: { 0x400, 0x400, 0x400, 0x400, 0},
needs_tvaudio: 0,
pll: PLL_28,
tuner_type: TUNER_PHILIPS_PAL,
}
Thanks in advance.
