I am new to video under Linux and think I may be having a problem. I am running kernel 2.4.18 (SuSE distribution) and a ATI AIW Radeon DDR 32 Mb card. I have XFree 4.2.0 installed and the ati.2 drivers from Gatos along with the Gatos radeon.o kernel module. In /etc/modules.conf I have: alias char-major-81 bttv options -k bttv radio=1 card=63 post-install bttv /sbin/modprobe "-k" tuner # just added this (I don't know if that's relevant anyway...) I haven't even begun to get into seeing if I can see any video yet, but at this point, I am just trying the following commands: modprobe videodev v4lctl -v2 -c /dev/video0 setstation next and it just seems to hangs on the v4ctl. I have to ^C to get out of it. I can find no errors anywhere in /var/log or anywhere else I can think of. What could be wrong? I have tried this both with and without the X server running, and both as root and as a non root user. I don't think I need the X server running at this point, but it doesn't seem to help anyway. I think this must be an easy problem, but I can't figure it.... Thanks! The device /dev/video1 looks OK as far as I can tell: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 19 2000 /dev/video -> video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 3 Sep 23 21:55 /dev/video3 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 2 Sep 23 21:55 /dev/video2 crw- rw---- 1 root video 81, 1 Sep 23 21:55 /dev/video1 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Sep 23 21:55 /dev/video0 Output of lsmod: [834][root@mars:/var/log]$ lsmod Module Size Used by tuner 8144 0 (unused) i2c-core 12320 0 [tuner] videodev 4480 0 (unused) radeon 89936 0 agpgart 29664 1 (autoclean) snd-pcm-oss 17888 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 13840 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4640 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 3024 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 2688 0 [snd-seq- midi] snd-seq 37120 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-card-cs461x 1792 0 snd-cs461x 67056 0 [snd-card-cs461x] snd-pcm 28192 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-cs461x] snd-timer 7824 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 8992 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-cs461x] snd-seq-device 3680 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 23104 0 [snd-cs461x] snd-mixer 21888 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ac97-codec] snd 30192 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-card-cs461x snd-cs461x snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 3280 4 [snd] ipv6 123392 -1 (autoclean) scanner 8480 0 (unused) evdev 3904 0 (unused) input 3072 0 [evdev] uhci 24032 0 (unused) iptable_nat 12752 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_conntrack 12656 1 (autoclean) [iptable_nat] iptable_filter 1728 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_tables 10400 4 [iptable_nat iptable_filter] usbcore 55136 1 [scanner uhci] aic7xxx 105712 0 (unused) eepro100 17280 1
