Hello, I have tried Gerd's cx88 driver with my Hauppauge PCI winTV and my system freezes when I try to read from /dev/video0 (xawtv, or cat /dev/video0). Kernel 2.4.20 patched with patch-2.4.20-kraxel Here is what I could copy after a system freeze, after running xawtv: /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway ioctl: VIDIOCGFBUF (base=(nil),size=0x0,depth=0,bpl=0): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCGBUF (size=0, frames=0): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCGFREQ (8418848.625 MHz): Invalid argument Here is more information: home:/home/fred# modprobe cx8800 home:/home/fred# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P tuner 9476 1 (autoclean) cx8800 21164 0 (unused) cx88xx 9312 0 [cx8800] video-buf 10688 0 [cx8800 cx88xx] i2c-algo-bit 7052 1 [cx8800] i2c-core 12960 0 [tuner cx88xx i2c-algo-bit] v4l2-common 2688 0 [cx8800] btcx-risc 2104 0 [cx8800 cx88xx] videodev 5696 1 [cx8800] v4l1-compat 10632 0 [cx8800] hid 8640 0 (unused) usbmouse 1824 0 (unused) mousedev 3872 1 nvidia 1540128 10 input 3424 0 [usbmouse mousedev] May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.1 loaded May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: cx8800[0]: found at 02:02.0, rev: 3, irq: 18, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfa000000 May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3401, board: Hauppauge WinTV GO [card=1,autodetected] May 30 21:18:26 home kernel: i2c-core.o: adapter cx8800[0] registered as adapter 0.

I am the unhappy owner of two currently not supported TV cards (Pinnacle PCTVpro with unknown tuner, Hauppauge winTV with the new Conexant cx88..) arrghhh.
