I made a lot of progress again ;-) The "modprobe go7007-usb" did not work, the modules were not there. I downloaded the official drivers from Plextor and tried to compile them. At first there was an error when executing the "make" command but it was easy to fix by "bz2unzipping" the kernel source. The drivers compiled well with "make install". The /var/log/messages after a disconnect and reconnect looked promising: kernel: usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 6 kernel: usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 usb.agent[4971]: wis-ezusb: loaded successfully /etc/hotplug/usb/wis-ezusb: load /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ezusb/hpi_PX-TV402U.hex for 93b/a004/1 to /proc/bus/usb/003/007 kernel: usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 7 kernel: usb 3-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 kernel: go7007: registering new Plextor PX-TV402U-EU kernel: wis-sony-tuner: type set to 200 (Sony PAL+SECAM (BTF-PG472Z)) usb.agent[5037]: go7007-usb: loaded successfully kernel: usbcore: registered new driver go7007 I tried the gorecord app, but it complained it could not find an OSS audio device. A quick search on the internet learned me that I had to execute "modprobe snd_pcm_oss". It loaded ! Again I tried the gorecord application by executing "gorecord -duration 60 test.avi". It returned the following output: /dev/video0 is a GO7007 device at USB address 3-1:1.0 Attempting to determine audio device...using audio device /dev/dsp1 Using input port Composite Capturing video at 640x480 VIDIOC_STREAMON: Input/output error I did a quick google search on the error but the returned articles such as "http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/v4l2dsi.htm"; make me feel dizzy :-o I did not have a video source available at this time, but that should still produce a "black video and no sound" avi file. The readme file of the Plextor Linux driver package points out: "the error messages produced by gorecord and recorded in the system log (usually in /var/log/messages) should provide information to help resolve the problem" but there are no errors reported in the messages file. Any hints ? Peter ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo!
