Hi There, I'm new to the list, but, having read through the list and searched the gentoo forums, am unable to get my Avermedia 771 card working on my gentoo box.
I have a gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.5r1 kernel running. Here's what I have done so far: Grabbed a CVS snapshot of the linuxtv-dvb dated 2004-06-21 (the latest build was giving me compile errors as described here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=146327&start=25) applied the makelinks script to patch the kernel selected Zarlink MT352 based driver, as well as the Nebula/Pinnacle PCI card driver and some other things, as described on the gentoo forum post above. Compiled the kernel, rebooted, ran: modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68 modprobe bt878 modprobe dvb-bt8xx modprobe mt352 Which shows up in dmesg as: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0a.0, irq: 12, latency: 32, mmio: 0xec100000 bttv0: subsystem: 1461:0771 (UNKNOWN) please mail id, board name and the correct card= insmod option to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bttv0: using: Nebula Electronics DigiTV [card=104,insmod option] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f0ff0f [init] bttv0: using tuner=-1 bttv0: registered device video0 bttv0: registered device vbi0 bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0" bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded bt878: Bt878 AUDIO function found (0). bt878(0): Bt878 (rev 17) at 00:0a.1, irq: 12, latency: 32, memory: 0xec101000 attach: checking "bt878 #0 [hw]" find by pci: checking "bt878 #0 [hw]" attach: "bt878 #0 [hw]", to card 0 DVB: registering new adapter (Ave). DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (DVB-T Zarlink MT352 demodulator driver)... But trying to scan for channels gives me: gentoo scan # ./scan dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace -v scanning dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 505833333 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 >>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. I'm in North London, so I am 99% sure the transmitter is right. I have had the card working with the same aerial under windows. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks, Ben
