I've hit the same problem, and after installing video4linux-kmdl and modprobe:ing saa7127, I get a very distorted image - even the test image of saa7127 is wrong (b/w, with two horizontal lines and the occasional pink flicker). This is on PAL S-Video BTW. I still have this in my modprobe.conf: install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb Should I add a dependency to saa7127 there somehow? / Niklas
Replying to myself to say that this worked, and since I had to look up how to do it, maybe I can spare someone the trouble: Just edit /etc/modprobe.conf and insert saa7127 in the line mentioned above, like this: install ivtv /sbin/modprobe saa7127; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb Reboot and enjoy. :) / Niklas
