Re: [ivtv-users] SUSE 10.1 PVR-150 Problem

Sorry for my late response, but I'm quite busy lately... Pipe Dream schreef: 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   Thing is, that in ivtv 6.3 only ivtvfb.ko ivtv.ko are compiled; that's why you have to use the original one's from the distro 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 Yes, that's my recommandation   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. Indeed, in 0.4.6 they were generated, in 0.6.3 no more   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/    Yes, this step should be followed   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   This step is only needed "if you don't have devfs or udev"; but in Suse 10.1 it is not needed   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   Not with me, but it does not harm to make this step; if the modules are not loaded you get a warning, but that's no problem   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.
