Hi Paul, I've made a first stab at it in my http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/v4l-dvb-ivtv tree. It should at least autodetect the card and hopefully find all the i2c devices. Please post the kernel messages you get when modprobing ivtv. Also let me know which connectors there are: besides the tuner are there also S-Video and/or Composite inputs? I need this info for the card definition. Currently I assume you have a tuner, S-Video and Composite inputs. For the tuner I am gambling that you have the common Philips tuner. Since I do not know how the various chips are hooked up you may not actually see any video. If that's the case, then you need to do a bunch of tests: Edit linux/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-cards.c, search for the ivtv_card_gigapocket struct and look at the .video_inputs field (line 1218): .video_inputs = { { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_VID_TUNER, 0, IVTV_SAA71XX_COMPOSITE4 }, { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_SVIDEO1, 1, IVTV_SAA71XX_SVIDEO0 }, { IVTV_CARD_INPUT_COMPOSITE1, 1, IVTV_SAA71XX_COMPOSITE0 }, }, The last entry (IVTV_SAA71XX_...) is my guess on how the video is hooked up. For the tuner and composite inputs the possibilities are COMPOSITE0/1/2/3/4/5, for the S-Video the possibilities are SVIDEO0/1/2/3. For S-Video you may end up with B&W video. If so, then just make a note of it as it needs more fine tuning in that case. You just will have to go through all the possibilities until you find one that works. It's usually best to start with the Composite input since there is no tuner involved. If my guess for the tuner chip is wrong, then you may not get any video for the tuner at all other than static. After this the next step will be to get audio to work, but we'll tackle that later. Just make a note if you get audio at all.
