[ivtv-users] SUSE 10.1 PVR-150 Problem

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 07:51:40 -0700

Jogchum and Patric:
 
 
 
Let me confirm what you mentioned.  IVTV 0.6.3 will work with SuSe kernel 2.6.13-smp?
 
My understanding is that the following files should be generated
once the “make && make install” have been executed:
 
cx25840.ko
ivtvfb.ko
ivtv.ko
saa7127.ko
tda9887.ko
tuner.ko
tveeprom.ko
 
So, your recommendation is the skip the following step in the HowTO, correct?
A) IVTV CARD INSTALLATION ALONE
Rename the kernel modules. 
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/
mv msp3400.ko msp3400.ko.old 
mv tveeprom.ko tveeprom.ko.old
mv tuner.ko tuner.ko.old
mv tda9887.ko tda9887.ko.old
 
You mention that there are no ivtv variants of these file in 6.3?  
The generated files I listed above were the files I get in 0.4.6 
when I got it working in Ubuntu 6.06.
 
The /xx/xx/media/video/ path is where the ivtv drivers 
belong? 
Did you follow through with the following step though? 

 
Next step is to copy the ivtv modules in your module tree: 
cd <whereever/the/source/is>/ivtv-0.4.0/driver
cp *.ko
 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/  
 
 
Also, what file name did you modify (in the HOWTO) to 
do the following, it appeared to me that SUSE 10.1 didn’t 
have the following file in this location:
 
Add the following lines to /etc/modules.conf if you don't have devfs or udev. Sometimes the file /etc/modules.conf is created at boot time from files in /etc/modutils/, read carefully the file /etc/modules.conf for instructions: 
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
 
 
Lastly, was the last step required:
 

Load the modules

If you have an older version of ivtv loaded, you need to remove the modules before you can load the new modules. You also have to stop the application that's using the tuner cards before you can remove the modules. 
/sbin/rmmod ivtv cx25840 tuner tveeprom msp3400 wm8775 tda9887 saa7115 saa7127
 
 
Thanks for your help on this, in response to the previous message on 
this thread; I did not compile my own kernel.  Hopefully, that will 
not be required.

Thanks!
