So, having a working system now, I decided to tinker a little. I installed the kernel-package I compiled myself from the git tree of 30-12-2008 (as I mentioned before) 2.6.28-GIT I cold-booted into this kernel, ivtv-tune -f 768 mplayer /dev/video0 = shite ! WTF ? I untarred the same ivtv-firmware *again* in /lib/firmware , rmmod ivtv && modprobe ivtv, ivtune -f 768, mplayer /dev/video0 = perfect ! Now how's that for an enigma, I doublechecked, the linux-image package I installed does not have firmware packaged into it.
I must admit I found a fault in my mythtv setup, it was set to PAL-60 instead of pal-BG, So I will try now to reproduce above described behavior by reinstalling linux-firmware and linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic If this works I am a total putz for missing the PAL-60 setup fault. I'll keep you guys posted. > _______________________________________________ > ivtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users > > _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
