No, it's more like that old blanket that you can't bring yourself to throw away :-) > When / if you get that Mac Mini, it would be great if you could post > here the results of running the pvrusb2 driver there.

I spent this weekend installing and configuring Slamd64 (the x86-64 version of Slackware) and this evening I tried the pvrusb2 driver in the 2.6.24.4 kernel. So far I have only tested it with "cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg" and this worked perfectly without any problems, patches, or special tricks. I used the firmware from the ivtv page. Next weekend I will play around with some of the ioctls, and report back here if anything unusual happens... The saa7115 driver produced some curious dmesg output: saa7115 1-0021: Input: Composite 4 saa7115 1-0021: Video signal: bad saa7115 1-0021: Frequency: 50 Hz saa7115 1-0021: Detected format: BW/No color OK, I can accept the "bad" video signal, but why does it say "BW/No color"? The captured MPEG did have correct colors. (I realize that this has nothing to the pvrusb2 driver per se) There were a few quirks when installing Linux on the Mac Mini. Getting TV-out to work (via Apple's DVI-to-S-video adapter) was non-trivial, and I still haven't been able to make it work exactly as I want. There were some issues with network drivers also, and the boot procedure is different since it uses EFI rather than the good old BIOS+MBR. -- Bjorn Danielsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
