here is the ivtv section of dmesg:
Actually, just a partial... As explained in Jarod's guide, you should
get the ivtv initialization information with:
tac /var/log/messages |
sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p;
/= START INIT IVTV =/q' |
tac
The reason is because many of the most important messages do not contain
the string "ivtv", so "grep ivtv" doesn't work...
well that should be easy enough to fix. why don't we change the drivers so
that all the messages *do* start with ivtv.
Because not all the drivers used by ivtv are ours. We use the tuner
module which is distributed with the kernel/V4L and are currently
working to get msp3400 distributed with the kernel/V4L to support ivtv
so we don't have to distribute it anymore. After all, why waste time
porting new fixes to the tuner/msp3400 to a slightly modified version of
the original. (Not to mention the problems it causes for the people who
use multiple cards--one ivtv card and one that need the modules shipped
with the kernel...)
that way we will won't have this
problem. it will also solve another problem (which has hit me in the past and
i know others). that problem is loading the *wrong* version on msp3400.ko
Won't be a problem once ivtv support in the in-kernel msp3400 is debugged.
or
tuner.ko, etc.
The only tuner module shipped with ivtv is the PVR-150-only module
(which will not work with many other cards--even PVR-{2,3}50's), so once
the "hacking" phase of PVR-150 development is over, the PVR-150 tuner
module will disappear, too.
if the ivtv versions output ivtv before every message then the
difference should be obvious.
Feel free to send patches for the temporary modules if you like. ;)
