I will try it out ...
Alas, no go TV in 7.2beta.
All the kudzu configurarion seems to do is add:
alias char-major-81 bttv
to /etc/modules.conf, whereas the last working TV (Mandrake 7.0) here
required:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
Another sample (for 2.4.0-test7 SMP with bttv-0.7.41):
options i2c scan=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options bttv card=11 pll=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=1
options tuner type=0 debug=1
options msp3400 debug=1
pre-install bttv modprobe -k msp3400; modprobe -k tuner
pre-install i2c-dev modprobe -k i2c-core
So something is quite wrong.
Can Mandrake put some competent talent into getting TV/radio cards
coming up working after the install?
kudzu should detect the card type and tuner type and set them up in
modules.conf so that xawtv and kwintv come up operational. You may
also have to replace the kernel's bttv.o module with the latest one
(that works). Use the V4L mailing list for help:
