What do mean "not as part of them"? You mean not in modprobe?
The pcHDTV card has 2 modes: ATSC and NTSC.
If you want NTSC, you can load the cx8800 module as one of the 'alias
char-major-81-x' group of lines and it will appear as /dev/videox. In this
mode, you can apparently get away with using the tveeprom-ivtv module (not
sure of this).
If you want ATSC, you must use the tveeprom module (not tveeprom-ivtv) and
the cx88-dvb and cx88-blackbird (for the mpeg encoder). These apparently
must be loaded after the ivtv stuff and the hardware appears at
/dev/dvb/adapter0.
Amended below, to match mine..
My modprobe.conf:
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
#alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
#
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7676
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7676
# lirc - at bottom to ensure ivtv is loaded before lirc_i2c
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
lirc_i2c
install cx88-dvb
#needs a little more: add:
install cx88-blackbird
install btcx-risc # I have no idea what this module does!
me either. When I used the dvb-tools (I think that's what they were
called... I'm getting forgetful with all this!) It installed the
following in modprobe.conf:
(note that these are only 3 lines. 2nd line is long)
alias char-major-81 cx88-blackbird
install cx88-atsc /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
install cx88-dvb /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
cx88-dvb
install btcx-risc /sbin/modprobe tuner;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
btcx-risc
I'm lost as to whether I need to have the alias char-major81 in there
or not.
Very confusing.
cx88-dvb is the last loaded. But, the PC still just loads the V4L
drivers. I still have to manually:
/sbin/modprobe cx-88
If you have to do this again, try cx88-dvb instead. I think that you get
this result because of the wrong tveeprom... just a guess
opps.. that's a typo. I DO use:
/sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb
