Two weeks ago I bought Lifeview FlyVideo 3000FM. This made my life much more interesting. I got kernel 2.4.20 from kernel.org + last snapshots of saa7134 and v4l2 patch. Everything was compiled and installed ok. I load driver as "modprobe saa7134" without any options. It seems to find just my card, so don't think I need any. Am I right? v4l-info gives: general info VIDIOC_QUERYCAP driver : "saa7134" card : "LifeView FlyVIDEO3000" bus_info : "PCI:02:05.0" version : 0.2.8 capabilities : 0x5010015 [VIDEO_CAPTURE,VIDEO_OVERLAY,VBI_CAPTURE,TUNER,READWRITE,STREAMING] [rest of list skipped] I use last xawtv (3.89) via Xv extension. Silly questions: - Picture is grayscale. Here, in Russia, we use SECAM_D, but changing between PAL/SECAM/NTSC in xawtv doesn't make any difference. How to be more precise? Or problem is not here? - Picture is.. erroneous? I attached two screenshots to show (don't know if it's ok, so beg your pardon in advance). That's not the the matter of tuning. If static picture is transmitted, everything is _almost_ ok. Artefacts appear on motion pictures. Bug is unusual, so think I miss something obvious. - The only overlay mode works. Changing it to grabscreen results in all black picture without any video-noise or motion. I tried several x11 drivers: nv, nvidia (closed-source) and vesa. Nothing changed. I haven't got DGA with them, so I cannot test xawtv in DGA-mode. Framebuffer is also inaccessible to me, cause I couldn't make fb work in mode with more then 8bpp. Alexander
