Hi list,
I have a Matrox Meteor II multichanel framegrabber. My
problem is that I cannot make work it. I downloaded
and installed completes version of V4L2
(videodevX-20020330.tgz), as well as drivers of the
card
(http://www.emlix.com/en/opensource/meteor2/download.html)
...
well, I compiled the V4L2, and load the module:
[root@movil root]# insmod videodevX
Using
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodevX.o
well... actually, I'm newbie installing and compiling
new modules for the linux kernel... but, if I use the
lsmod command, I can see the module active:
[root@movil root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
videodevX 15336 0 <---- is
it??.... :-)
lp 6720 0
parport_pc 21672 1
parport 23936 1 [lp parport_pc]
snd-seq-midi 3680 0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-emu10k1-synth 4220 0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-emux-synth 25532 0 (autoclean)
[snd-emu10k1-synth]
well... after that, I compiled and installed the
matrox meteor II driver, but when I try to probe it, I
receive this message:
[root@movil root]# modprobe meteor2
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/meteor2.o:
init_module: Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the
output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/meteor2.o
failed
modprobe: insmod meteor2 failed
hmmm... I used the dmesg command, and obtain the next
output (these are only some lines) :
root@movil root]# dmesg
...
Video for Linux One (2.2.16). Major device: 81
Video for Linux Two (V0.20). Major device: 81
meteor2[via_module_init]: loading driver (dmask: 0x0)
meteor2[via_get_hwinfo]: Unknown JPEG/RAM config
V4L2: meteor2 (#0) initialize method failed
...
as far I know, the framegraber needs an area of
memory, which is reserved in the lilo.conf file. I'm
using the next configuration for that:
[root@movil root]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us-latin1.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda6
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="mem=500M" <--- I have 512M of
RAM
vga=normal
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
and well... I'm not sure if there is a problem with
the IRQ's, but just in case, this is my configuration
of PCI devices:
root@movil root]# cat /proc/pci

(note that the ethernet controler has the same IRQ,
but I don't know if that is a problem for V4L2)
and my problem, how you can see, is that it don't
works!! :( ... I'm using mandrake distribution with
kernel 2.4.19-16mdk. The system is and HP Vectra P4
1.7GHz 512Mb RAM (with win98, the meteor2 is OK, so,
it isn't a hardware compatibility problem, I
think...)
thanks in advance...
ps: sorry if my english is not elegant :)
