I even made a foldr link to /etc/hotplug as /lib/hotplug. I still get these messages in dmesg: ========================================================== ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3! ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware. ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization ivtv: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -12 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================
It's beginning to look like this isn't the files that ivtv is looking for as "v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw". v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw must be a real v4l file. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
