It is listed in the supported cards, and all three chips are well known (bt878A, MSP3445G, and a Philips NTSC tuner) but it's been so much scrap silicon so far. I tried to get help in the last two weeks, but no-one has replied, so I am guessing no-one has a clue, and now I cannot return it (I wanted to help out the community by solving this, but not much luck so far...)
My setup: PIII with Asus P3V4X/533-U mobo, Matrox G400, SB Live OEM, 3Com905B. I've tried the PCI quirks in the docs, removing all the other cards, disabling USB, nothing has affected it. When I comment bits out of the driver, it just hangs a little later. I am guessing that it has more to do with the PCI bus, than the bttv driver, but I'd sure appreciate some help from someone with a clue (I am far from being a kernel hacker.) _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
