OK, a new card. There we go: 1) Get the new buffalo tree here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/buffalo/archive/tip.tar.bz2 2) make, make install, and run modprobe ivtv. 3) The card should be autodetected, now see if it works. Start with the composite input (select using v4l2-ctl -i2). 4) If it does not work, then edit ivtv-cards.c: search for the ivtv_card_buffalo struct, check out the line: { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_COMPOSITE1, 1, CX25840_COMPOSITE3 }, in video_inputs. Replace CX25840_COMPOSITE3 with CX25840_COMPOSITE1 and try again. Then test with CX25840_COMPOSITE2, etc. etc. until COMPOSITE8. One of these 8 possible inputs should work. Next try S-Video input (v4l2-ctl -i1): edit the line { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_SVIDEO1, 1, CX25840_SVIDEO3 }, and replace SVIDEO3 with SVIDEO1-4 and see which one works. If none of these works, or you get only black & white then make a note of which input gives B&W and let me know. We can get color to work later. 5) Tuner: first get the firmware. See the file linux/Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl for instructions. 6) Now modprobe ivtv. Then run rmmod ivtv and modprobe ivtv again. If you get errors in the kernel log regarding the xceive tuner, then you need to change the xceive_pin setting in the buffalo card definition. It should be in the range 8-15. Try 10 first. 7) Congratulations, the tuner is now working. The final step is to find the correct composite input for the tuner by editing the line: { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_VID_TUNER, 0, CX25840_COMPOSITE2 }, Again, it can be any value from COMPOSITE1-8. For audio you may have to change the line: { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_AUD_TUNER, CX25840_AUDIO5 }, Possible values: AUDIO4-8. 8) Done! It's a bit annoying to go through all the combinations but it is the only way to do it. BTW: check if your board has a WM8739 or MW8775 chip: that's a not uncommon audio chip.
