It'd be useful to have some sort of a toplevel document in the kernel tree with a list of all drivers, plus a list of drivers under development. I don't have a full list, but can give some general pointers of projects that I know of (these projects are, as far as I know, all still alive): (*) bttv, for Bt848/Bt878-based cards (any old PCI TV-card): http://www.bytesex.org/bttv/ cx88, for conexxant88xx based cards (new PCI TV-cards from Hauppauge and Pinnacle etc.): http://www.bytesex.org/cx88xx/ marvel, for hardware MJPEG capture chips built-in (or as an extension to) on Matrox video cards (e.g. Matrox Marvel G200/G400): http://marvel.sf.net/ rivatv, for TV-in thingies on nvidia video cards: http://rivatv.sf.net/ (*) saa7134, for Saa7134-based TV-cards (new PCI TV-cards, such as Terratec Cinergy and Flyvideo cards): http://www.bytesex.org/saa7134/ (*) zoran, for zr360x7-based hardware MJPEG capture/playback cards (such as Pinnacle DC10+): http://mjpeg.sf.net/driver-zoran/ All marked with (*) are present in kernel 2.6.x and are considered stable. For the others, I mostly don't have a clue about their status, you'd need to check their website or ask on their mailinglist. There's some more drivers (but I don't know for which boards) in the kernel tree, so you might want to look around in the kernel config for more card types. But some of these (at least in 2.6.x) are broken (because of using obsolete APIs), so you'd need to double check and test-compile to be sure. If you want a simple TV-card, use a bt8x8/saa7134-based one and you're fine. Can other people please add their project to the above list? Gerd, would you be willing to host such a list and maintain it (passively)? HTH, Ronald -- Ronald Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Linux Video/Multimedia developer
