Hi, i have spent weeks trying to build and install drivers on my recently
installed Fedora Core 4
it looks like ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k has just become available. It is the one that
seems to be working THE MOST, compared to other version attempts.
The 0.2.0-rc3j drivers failed to make at all on FC4. Thus, before the next 0.2
version (k) became available, i tinkered for days with 0.3.3, which compiled
but failed to load and work properly
Finally, the 0.2.00rc3k compiled last night.
I still need to use force ( "modprobe -f" ) to load the modules, and thus get
the version magic & tainted kernel errors. This could be related to the gcc-4.0
difficulties FC4 presents, vis-a-vis "older" source code (I normally solve it
by using CC=gcc32, but i'm not sure i can compile these drivers with that
option, and the version magic mismatch mentions gcc-4.0 for the modules).
On a couple of modprobes recently, module ivtv failed even with the force
option. But, strangely, one or more subsequent tries makes it load.
Xine shows /dev/video from stdin, with no apparent errors anywhere.
However, cat /dev/video >/dev/video16 produces audio but no video.
Gnomeradio has never worked, although it does detect /dev/radio
------- Regarding image quailty --------------------------
I have seen many user messages saying that the captured video is sharp;
however, mine is noticeably blurrier (viewed in Xine) than the image on my TV.
Am i missing something?
ivtvctl says I am using
Width : 720
Height : 480

Prior to ivtv module, i load the other seven modules, and get the following

(by the way, why version 0.3 in "saa7127: video encoder driver version V 0.3
loaded" ? I have replaced all my 0.3 modules with 0.2)
