Hi Andy, thanks for the reply. I began by following the "myth(tv)ology" guide [1] to get fedora core up and running which worked like a charm, and I used yum and apt-get to update the OS and then the kernel (as described in the myth(tv)ology guide). I'm now at stage 10 ("Get and install capture card driver(s)") of that guide, and since it seems a little thin for my card, I'm following Martin Smith's guide [2], specifically the 'install drivers' stage. I'm totally new to linux, so I may be wrong, but as I understand it what I'm trying to do is install the DVB drivers from linuxtv.org by building the latest version from source out of CVS. I wasn't aware that this involved touching the kernel, though as I say I might have got the wrong end of the stick. I notice Martin's guide has a specific kernel 2.6 related section (most of which makes little sense to me) but which mentions that "The Fedora kernels include the DVB drivers." - I had hoped that meant that I didn't need to do any of this, but I cannot get any mention of DVB in my output from dmesg, which seems to be Martin's test for successfull DVB driver installation. > I know if you compile the vanilla kernel there are a bunch of side > modules > that you need to include in order for the DVB stuff to work. I'm using a > pcHDTV HD-3000 which is an ATSC board that has DVB support in Kernel > 2.6.12-rc2 and greater. my Kernel is version 2.6.11-1.14 - are you saying I might have a better chance of getting this working if I upgraded to this newer kernel? can I do that with a yum or apt-get, or is this going to need me to build the kernel manually (yikes). > If you don't mind, could you send an output of lsmod? voila: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# lsmod Module Size Used by radeon 74177 1 lp 12489 0 autofs4 26181 0 sunrpc 164485 1 xfs 586001 1 exportfs 8641 1 xfs dm_mod 59221 0 video 15813 0 button 6609 0 battery 9285 0 ac 4805 0 md5 4161 1 ipv6 259201 10 joydev 9601 0 uhci_hcd 33497 0 video_buf 21764 0 i2c_algo_bit 9033 0 v4l2_common 5504 0 btcx_risc 4488 0 tveeprom 11800 0 videodev 9665 0 parport_pc 28421 1 parport 40201 2 lp,parport_pc i2c_viapro 7889 0 i2c_core 21953 3 i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom,i2c_viapro snd_via82xx 28801 1 snd_ac97_codec 71097 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm_oss 51953 0 snd_mixer_oss 18241 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 99657 3 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 33093 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9669 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm gameport 5057 1 snd_via82xx snd_mpu401_uart 10049 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 28641 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8781 1 snd_rawmidi snd 56741 11 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10785 1 snd 3c59x 44009 0 mii 4929 1 3c59x floppy 64753 0 ext3 131145 2 jbd 82777 1 ext3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# [1] http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/ [2] http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb1.html _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
