>saa7127 2-0044: saa7129 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) There was for a short period a problem with S-Video and saa7129, which was present in the first 2.6.28 kernel. Maybe your arch kernel has a v4l-dvb snapshot from that time which includes this problem Older driver versions showed a green screen when loading ivtv. This was because the saa712x was activated before the MPEG decoder had been initialized. I fixed this with this patch: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/e95d50985dde Unfortunately it had a side effect for saa7129 chips which would explain your problem. This was fixed with this patch: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/4c1561cccc22 Have a look at the sources for your kernel. maybe it has the first patch, but not the second. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
