I'm learning as I go a bit here, so pardon my ignorance and thanks for
the pointers. With video4linux-kmdl installed from before, I install
saa7127 via modprobe
DVR:~ # modprobe -v saa7127
insmod
/lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6/updates/drivers/media/video/saa7127.ko
DVR:~ #
and viola, TV Out now works again!
Now, I assume this is a temporary workaround and eventually saa7127
will be added back to FC6. How will I know when that happens and I
can stop issuing the modprobe? Will the final solution be posted here?
Was this in PAL land? I've hit the same problem, and after installing
video4linux-kmdl and modprobe:ing saa7127, I get a very distorted image -
even the test image of saa7127 is wrong (b/w, with two horizontal lines and
the occasional pink flicker). This is on PAL S-Video BTW.
I still have this in my modprobe.conf:
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
Should I add a dependency to saa7127 there somehow?
