Hi Everybody. I'm a novice Linux user running Debian. Another problem is my english, it's very poor, so it's possible I misunderstood some directions. I work on Debian woody 3.0.1, kernel 2.4.20. I'm trying to install a FlyVideo 2000FM, so I went to bytesex.org/saa7134 and downloaded the driver saa7134-0.2.6-tar.gz and the v4l snapshoot v4l2-0030415.tar.gz. I installed saa7134-0.2.6 because 0.2.7 gave me compile problems. I created the directory /usr/src/saa7134 aund untar both files inside. each one genered their directory saa7134 and v4l. I compiled first v4l. cd v4l; make KDIR=/usr/src/linux and make install; Everything was OK. I repeated the procedure with saa7134 directory; make (same KDIR) and make install. Again I found no problems. I reboot the system and tried to execute any application to see TV I had none (remeber I'm a novice) so I went again to bytesex.org and herad about xawtv, so I did an apt-cache search xawtv and based on the output I installed the following: apt-get install xawtv-applet xawtv-tools came xawtv v4l-conf sacntv xawtv-plugins. Everything installed ok. The xawtv version installed was 3.72. I rebooted my machine again and now I find xawtv to execute. As a normal user I execute xawtv and receive the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.96 loaded Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture Apr 26 19:57:11 debian kernel: bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc.

First question. Do I need to execute this command every time I reboot my machine in order to watch YV? in other words, does not exists a more automatic way? Now, with the module loaded I execute xawtv again. OK, I got some image but it was very poor so after some minutes I click with the right button on the TV screen and an options menu appears, there I saw that Normal TV is shown as PAL, here in Venezuela we use NTSC so I changed it. Now the image is very good, but I have no sound. But here there is another problem, every time I close xawtv and execte it again I must set NTSC manually again, is it correct? I reviewed my /etc/modules.conf file and I couldn't see nothing about saa7134, is it correct? I was looking in the list archives and found some patches tht must be done to the sources, but I'm not clear if they apply to my case. I also review inside the snapsoot directory (in bytesex.org) and there exists a file for xawtv (xawtv-20030414.tar.gz) I don't know if I must use it or not. One late question If I decide to use the saa7134-0.2.7 or later driver, how can I unistall the previus one? Thank very much for your hekp and for being so patient. -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze
