I have read and followed a lot of the collected wisdom from everyone on the list concerning getting the above card working in my machine. There appears to be two basic schools of thought:
1. Jarod's recommended approach - minimal modprobe.conf settings, e.g.
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
And then manually (or on startup from /etc/rc.d/rc.local) load other modules and options
2. A lot of others - all sorts of module and option combos in modprobe.conf, e.g.
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1,-1,-1,-1
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1,1,1,1 no_black_magic=1
options wm8775 mixer=2
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 tuner=58
options tda9887=0 qss=0
I must admit, I have had some success recently with the latter in combination with driver 0.3.2q on 2.6.10-1.770_FC3. I'm now wondering whether I should go back to the AT-RPMs packaged driver and retry Jarod's approach again.
My current issues are that sound fluctuates in volume from the tuner input and is really tinny from the composite input. I'd like to rectify these things if possible.
I occasionally get a 'device /dev/dsp is use by another process' when starting mythfrontend too - anyone else seen this?
Anyone out there have any strong opinions one way or the other? Happy to supply any other details if anyone is interested and thanks to all the enthusiasts and gurus out there! I would not have come this far without you...
Cheers,
Rick
