Hi Everybody, I got the card working!! All this time I had the solution in my hands and I did not use it properly.
First, the chips that my card has: Conexant Fusion 878A, TEA5767 (FM Tuner) I followed the same procedure as mentioned in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160271 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned there, I put the following lines in my /etc/modprobe.d/bttv file: ---------------------------------------------- option bttv card=78 radio=1 tuner=38 pll=1 gbuffers=4 \ gpiomask=0x1c0007 \ audiomux=0x080000,0x000001,0x080000,0x080000,0x000001 ---------------------------------------------- After I rebooted, both FM Radio and TV started working perfectly!! (So, my tuner type is 38, not 5 as was autodetected using the card=78 option) Last time I used the same procedure, it did not work, possibly because I was using 2.6.8 kernel in Debian Sarge. Recently, I got a SuSE 10.1 DVD with a magazine and installed it yesterday just to see how SuSE looked. There it worked. SuSE 10.1 is using the 2.6.16 kernel, and I think that made the difference. Another thing I noticed was that xawtv in SuSE could tune the channels more or less correctly, but could not display the pictures. Even audio was working, but no picture. On the other hand, the default TV and Radio applications (kdetv and kradio) worked perfectly. SuSE did not come with tvtime, so I could not try it out. My Sarge DVDs did not come with kradio and kdetv, and I don't have internet connection at home. Anyway, I will now try using the latest kernel in Debian to get this thing working there. I am already missing apt in SuSE. I had posted a mail to this list asking how to get this card working in Linux. Since I got no reply, I assume nobody in this list got this card working. Hence I am sending this mail so that someone might find it useful. Regards, Santanu Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
