Hello,
Some of you may recall that I posted previously
regarding "coloured fuzz" when trying to watch TV via
Freevo. Well, I think that may have had something to
do with leaving something out of the kernel when last
compiling it. I have since recompiled, and am now
experiencing something a little different. Details
below:
PLatform: Mandrake Linux 9.0
Freevo Version: 1.3.2-pre1
Relevent Hardware:
* ATI VE Wonder
* Matrox G400 Millenium
Summary: WHen trying to watch a TV channel in Freevo,
the screen goes black then dumps me back to the
channel listings.
Here is the outpust of (what I believe to be) the
relevent files:
--- dmesg ---

Now one thing I did notice is that the 'dmesg' output
says I am using 'tuner=8', which is correct; that is
the option I set in my '/etc/modules.conf' file.
However, the 'internal-main-0.log' output indicates I
am using 'tuner=3'. This could very well be source of
the problem. Any idea where Freevo would be getting
'tuner=3' from?? (Perhaps if I correct that, then that
will turn out to be the source of the problem).
ALl other suggestions very much welcome as well. :-)
TIA,
Alan
