I've been fighting with getting my PVR-350's TV-OUT to work with the ivtv_fb driver for about a week now. No matter what I try, I can't get the video to display. Capturing video works fine. I'm plan to use the box for mythtv, so I'd like to get X working with the TV-OUT (composite). >From what I've read, that means I'll need 3.x and ivtv_fb.
The video out always looks alternating white and black lines. See picture at http://www.kconline.com/ghormann/new/images/ivtv_small.jpg Unloading the sa7127 module turns the screen black. Attempting to load the module with test_image=1 yeilds an error. I'm uncertain where to go from here. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecated. (I'll be the first to admit I don't understand what all the different drivers do. I've had trouble finding documentation on the topic too.) Thanks, Greg. ----------------------------------------------------- Linux tv 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 #9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux 512 Megs 1 PVR-350 (/dev/video1) 1 PVR-250 (/dev/video0) ivtv 0.3.7 (d) #rmmod saa7127 Screen converts from b/w lines to all black. # /sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1 FATAL: Error inserting saa7127 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r6/ivtv/saa7127.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) # dmesg | tail saa7127: Unknown parameter `test_image' saa7127: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones #/sbin/modprobe saa7127 Screen with b/w lines appears again # /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -noglobalalpha -localalpha Framebuffer state: Framebuffer state: ON Global alpha: disabled Local alpha: ENABLED Flicker reduction: ENABLED Global alpha value: 208 Active buffer: Offset: 0x00000000 Maximum offset: 0x00151800 Horizontal stride: 720 32-bit words Vertical lines: 480 lines Coordinates (x, y): 0, 0 Framebuffer state: Framebuffer state: ON Global alpha: disabled Local alpha: ENABLED Flicker reduction: ENABLED Global alpha value: 208 Active buffer: Offset: 0x00000000 Maximum offset: 0x00151800 Horizontal stride: 720 32-bit words Vertical lines: 480 lines Coordinates (x, y): 0, 0 Screen still b/w lines # dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k Screen unchanged (still b/w lines) # /usr/bin/ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -alpha -on -globalalpha -nolocalalpha Screen goes black #dd if=/dev/video1 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k Screen stays black # lsmod Module Size Used by snd_pcm_oss 47392 0 snd_mixer_oss 17024 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_oss 32128 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6400 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 49424 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 6988 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_intel8x0 28864 0 snd_ac97_codec 78392 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 82120 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21124 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 46692 9 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 7620 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm ivtv_fb 37244 0 saa7127 13100 0 msp3400 27704 0 saa7115 11796 0 tuner 20580 0 ivtv 1347780 2 ivtv_fb bttv 147728 0 video_buf 17540 1 bttv firmware_class 7872 1 bttv v4l2_common 4736 1 bttv btcx_risc 3912 1 bttv tveeprom 12468 1 bttv videodev 7232 2 ivtv,bttv lirc_i2c 6916 0 lirc_dev 11404 1 lirc_i2c # grep ivtv /etc/modprobe.conf install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 #lirc_serial lirc_dev lirc_i2c tveeprom ivtv #ivtv_fb # dmesg [trimed] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.3.7 (d) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 preempt K7 gcc-3.3 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist. ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 250 card ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK3] enabled at IRQ 12 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:06.0[A] -> Link [LNK3] -> GSI 12 (level, low) -> IRQ 12 ivtv: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 32552, rev = C168, serial# = 8015637 tveeprom: tuner = LG TAPE H001F MK3 (idx = 68, type = 47) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000) tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3440 (type = 11) ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom[50],ok] ivtv: Tuner Type 47, Tuner formats 0x00001000, Radio: yes, Model 0x008d1598, Revision 0x00000001 ivtv: NTSC tuner detected ivtv: Radio detected tuner: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv: i2c attach [client=(tuner unset),ok] saa7115: starting probe for adapter ivtv i2c driver #0 (0x10005) saa7115: detecting saa7115 client on address 0x42 saa7115: writing init values ivtv: i2c attach [client=saa7115[50],ok] saa7115: status: (1E) 0x48, (1F) 0xc0 msp34xx: ivtv version msp34xx: init: chip=MSP3448W-A2, has NICAM support, simple (D) mode, simpler (G) no-thread mode msp34xx: $Id$ compiled on: Aug 14 2005 20:42:50 ivtv: i2c attach [client=MSP3448W-A2,ok] ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02040024 ivtv: Encoder Firmware can be buggy, use version 0x02040011!!!!
