My only concern is that all TV cards will be handle by drakxtv that : - configure it if it need to be configured (bttv cards for exemple) - display a messagebox that the card is autoconfigured (usbvision cards for exemple) - display a messagebox that the card isn't supported yet / the driver is in alpha step (and display the link of project web page for info) / have a proprietary driver (and display the link of driver web page for info) Sorry if it wasn't clear before ;) > > > drakxtv is a tool for configure TV cards, not a bttv/dvb/saa7134 > > tool, or rename it drakxbttvdvbsaa7134. > > > > Aren't you agree with me ? > > give me the info i asked you above before. > > > > i quote you : "drakxtv doesn't handle all bttv cards" > > > > yes, some bttv cards doesn't works fine (no sound, only one channel > > as described in > > http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker/2002-11/msg00160.php ) > > you speak of totally different things: > > - support of cards supported by bttv, which we do fine for quite some > time > > - support for other devices (such as dvb, saa7134, usb video, ...). > for each new case we added, we need to think before doing > anything. so are they webcam or real tv tuners ? > They are TV cards in user view. > if they're just webcam, then there's no point in offering to > configure them in drakxtv since we cannot do anything. > webcam're managed through devfsd/hotplug/dynamic and appears > automatically on desktop.> > > > > kwintv is broken).
