Hi,
I checked and tried all settings for Tuner and Video Card. The unit is
a CPHO51 Askey TV Tuner. YAST2 autodetects it and indicates it bt878. I
checked the kernel paramters and these match for 878 on autosetting.
The Dynalink vendor info advisesPAL-BG Tuner. I tried this with no luck.
There is also a setting for PAL BG and Tuner I tried this with no luck.
I have resolution set at 800x600.
I read somewhere that sometimes it can be the Card Slot and/or the
IRQ(?) number. I cannot change the IRQ as the autodected card seems to
get no 1, but I coould move the card slot?
Any sugesstions greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi again.
I persisted with your advice and evetually got it to go. I have recorded
the tuner settings, if anyone ever wants them to save time with Dynalink
I will post it. I think all I was doing wrong was not re-loading/
logging out and in(?) of KDE to effect the config. changes. I gather if
I did all this in a shell I could get the re configs set without having
to do it that way. I thought YAST2 was supposed to save and effect them,
anyway.
Thanks for putting me on the right track I was utterly lost, and thanks
SLUG. This was the only list that had a clue.

RE: [SLUG] Re {SLUG]Not so Magic TVView and Misc Mouse query and Linux for Lawyers/Lawyers for Linux
Ok, I think I can help on items 2 3.
(2)
The mouse config, under Redhat (and hopefully) Suse is
/etc/sysconfig/mouse. In there, you should find a line and change it to:
XEMU3=yes
I would assume, you'll need to restart the gpm server (/etc/init.d/gpm
restart)
(3)
Yeah, keep me posted on your progress - plug I'm always finding it
difficult to advertise my linux skills to possible clientele.

Subject: [SLUG] Re {SLUG]Not so Magic TVView and Misc Mouse query and
Linux for Lawyers/Lawyers for Linux
I hope someone can help on this(ese).
1. (out of 3)
I am running Linux on the SuSE 7.3 distro install. (BTW for a newbie the
SuSE install is pretty slick. Previously I had istalled RH 7.1. I found
this very educational and learnt how to partition using fips, and
install a dual boot. Then my el cheapo crappo hard disk died I had to
re-install and decided to try SuSE. This time I decided to stuff MS off
altogether so no MS partition/dual boot. :-) the SuSE install has
default partitioning is a nice integration. ) Anyway...
I also got an Askey Magic TvView TV card (CPHO51 TV+FM Tuner Card). My
old TV also died. (I choose not to dwell on these events at any
metaphorical or other level)
Not being a shell Linux command guru though keenly aspirational I am
using SuSE's YAST2. It identified my TV Card, no problem and I
configured it for PAL -BG as per instructions for Australia set up. When
I open motv in a shell I get no picture or fuzz or anythng at all and
the shell says this:
motv
This is motv-3.61, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.10-4gb)
Warning: Actions not found: Remote
Warning: Actions not found: Remote
Segmentation fault
and after a station scan it closes out of motv
Xconsole says
Date kernel: bttv0:PLL: 28636363 = 35468950 ... ok
Date kernel: tuner: TV freq (o.6) out of range (44-958)
Date kernel: tuner: tuner type not set
Date kernel: tuner: tuner type not set
Date kernel: linux last message repeated 52 times
In station scan mode the Xconsole spits out alot of out of range
messages.
The MagicTVView has an infra red remote. I have tried pressing the power
button and retrying motv but still get the same result. Nothing at all
happens.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

2.
The other thing is the mouse in SuSE. With my RE 7.1 install the mouse
acted like a 3 button one and cut and paste from a console to anywhere
was a sinch but sadly SuSE mouse config didn't (so far as I could see)
offer this. Can anyone tell me how to either re-config my PS/2 mouse to
get the 3 Button simulation happening or alternatively explain a method
of copying and pasting from console to whatever.
3.
Lastly I am in the process (SLOW STEEP) of setting up a site as a means
of getting the legal profession (or such of it as has some sense) to
move from MS to Linux and at the same time to get some of them to
capture a bit of the spirit of Jessica Litman and Lawrence Lessig and
ofcourse (Richard Stallman, Linux Torvalds sine qua non) and get behind
the GNU/Linux Open Source and do a bit of soul searching on the
ridiculous new copyright, privacy, censorship, trade practice,
broadcasting and international treaty (WTO, GATT, G8, World Copyright
Convention) kind of stuff.
As well as general info and specific assist set up advice info and links
I want to set up tech support by either links to other sites
(SLUG) which I do with first conferring consulting informing exchanging
thoroughly with such sites. If you get work installing Linux and setting
up systems out of that then great. Then and/or/possibly/eventually
(demand permitting) have a tech assist list on the site itself. For now
what are peoples thoughts?
Would anyone like me to keep you posted on progress? If there is enough
interest I might just post progress to Grrltalk.
My background and interest in all this is as an Intellectual Property
Lawyer. Please note that I am not ambulance chasing or trying to network
for clients. I do alot of pro bono stuff in Arts and Media and have a
conscience. For me it is a persoanl/political thing. I am disgusted at
what is happeinig with Copyright Laws in Aust (which ftmp are a copy of
the US DMCA sadly) and the Media Oligop in Aust is very much driving IP
and Broadcasting policy. My practice covers small independent companies
and individuals many are having trouble with rising restrictions on
access to Works Subject Matter Other Than Works not to mention TV
and Radio and Cable and Copper Wire bandwidth. Some of you may be
familiar with our Productivity Commission which has only resulted in
reserving TV for existing commercial players. I could go on but if any
of you have read Jessica Litmans's Digital Copyright or Lawrence
Lessig's Code and/or Future of Ideas books
