Hi,
I've hacked saa7134-core.c to add a entry for FlyVideo2000 (basically copied
from the FlyVideo3000 entry, modified for saa7130).
I noticed that the saa7134 module pretty much detects the card on its own,
there's no insmod option to specify the card type unlike for bttv.
I've also hooked up a VCD-player to the Composite Video (RCA) and Audio In
(mini-stereo) jack as an alternative input source.

However, the TV input (tuner input 1) still does not have any video or
audio signal, although I can see some static on the xawtv screen and hear
the background static noise via the speakers. The Composite Video signal
from the VCD shows up fine via "Composite3" but I can't get audio to work.
I don't believe that it's a problem with the mixer or muting since I can
hear the static noise for the TV channel. (I should add that the setup
works fine under Win98).
I peeled off the FlyVideo sticker from the Tuner block (PAL BG) following
another suggestion by Gunther Mayer, and this is what was on the tuner:
TCL2002MB-1 (Could've been ICL2002..., the sticker was slightly damaged)
2K1 001
It seems like this particular FlyVideo 2000 card (LR 138 Rev. C) is quite
different from the FlyVideo 3000 cards?
I can try to hack the drivers but I'd need some pointers as to what to
look out for, and where to find the IC specs. Right now, I'm still rather
confused as to the relationship between saa7134, tuner, tvaudio, and some
of the other modules. Also, how does video inputs correlate to audio
inputs?
As for the hard-lock I experienced previously, most instances didn't have
any usable oops messages. There's one I enclosed below, but I think it
could've been caused by almost anything at all (even a buggy kernel
2.4.17-0.12custom from RH Rawhide).....
