I can't figure out how to get my tv tuner working. I have a STB pci tv/radio tuner with the bttv 878 chipset. This card was detected fine when mandrake was installed. (I have MDK 8.1) The first sign that something was amiss was when gnometv started and I got the error message thus:
Overlay mode is not working, because bttv initialized with wrong base address. To load bttv use the following command: insmod bttv vidmem=0xf00 Unfortunately, this option does not appear to be valid. when I try to insert bttv (after unloading bttv first) I get this output: [root@localhost david]# modprobe bttv /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz: invalid parameter parm_vidmem /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o.gz: insmod bttv failed "vidmem=0xf00" is not included in the command here because I put in /etc/modules.conf. The first portion of my modules.conf is what MDK 8.1 installed. The contents are: alias net-pf-4 ipx pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias usb-interface usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 alias eth0 3c59x #alias char-major-81 bttv alias autofs autofs4 probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias tvcard0 bttv alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner #i2c options i2c verbose=1 scan=1 i2c_debug=0 #bttv options bttv card=3 radio=1 gbuffers=8 #vidmem=0xf00 options tuner type=2 I would think since this is an 878 card, bttv should be able to auto detect my card options just fine. Since it wasn't working, I tried telling it explicitly what I have (as indicated above) but to no avail. lsmod gives me this: [root@localhost david]# lsmod Module Size Used by bttv 57200 2 iptable_filter 2048 0 (autoclean) (unused) ip_tables 11488 1 [iptable_filter] ip_vs 62000 0 (autoclean) (unused) radeon 90192 1 agpgart 26752 3 sr_mod 14912 0 (autoclean) (unused) emu10k1 54320 0 ac97_codec 9312 0 [emu10k1] sound 58400 0 [emu10k1] soundcore 4208 7 [emu10k1 sound] lp 5808 0 parport_pc 20240 1 parport 24768 1 [lp parport_pc] autofs4 9600 2 (autoclean) af_packet 12560 2 (autoclean) appletalk 21072 0 (autoclean) ipx 16640 0 (autoclean) keybdev 1920 0 (unused) mousedev 4192 0 (unused) hid 18480 0 (unused) input 3648 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] scanner 7680 0 (unused) usb-uhci 21232 0 (unused) usbcore 50752 1 [hid scanner usb-uhci] 3c59x 25952 1 (autoclean) nls_iso8859-1 2880 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4400 1 (autoclean) vfat 9968 1 (autoclean) fat 32192 0 (autoclean) [vfat] isofs 18496 0 (autoclean) tuner 4784 1 (autoclean) tvaudio 8576 2 (autoclean) tda7432 2944 1 (autoclean) i2c-algo-bit 7328 1 [bttv] i2c-core 13600 0 [bttv tuner tvaudio tda7432 i2c-algo-bit] videodev 5056 5 [bttv] ide-scsi 8096 0 scsi_mod 91072 2 [sr_mod ide-scsi] rtc 5600 1 (autoclean) reiserfs 158304 3 Mandrake control panel indicates that the bttv driver is being used twice by my card. I am assuming that is once for the tv tuner and once for the radio tuner. Is this causing a problem? I have never been able to get any video or audio from my tv card. Any help would be greatly appreciated! David Savolainen
