But most people hate it when you sent large dumps with debug information
over the list.
You are always free to post the solution (if we find any) on the list for
others to find, but in general I notice that the debugging of a driver
is not really interesting for other parties.
But, oh well... Here it is, from the README and INSTALL files:
Please rebuild the driver after defining DEBUG as explained in the
comment. Than reload the module zoran.o. tuner.o is not needed,
the zoran needs either the saa7110 or saa7111 videodecoder loaded.
(there is no real support for tuner on zoran cards, due to the fact
that a) i do not have such a card and b) nobody who has one sent
any patches for me to integrate)
Now, when you have the new driver build and loaded, keep an eye
on /var/log/messages or whatever file your debug messages go to.
Start xawtv or better streamer (from the same package) which will
allow you to do a single grab, instead of a zilion.
Sent me (oh no! the list) that the relavant part of the debug
information
Oh, needless to say, but you have a proper video source connected
to the card? Like a videorecorder, satelite dish decoder?
