8.2 beta4. In short: My TV card was detected, but drakxtv failed to create a .xawtvrc file for me. I'm using NTSC, US cable.
The standard error output from running drakxtv is: full pci_probe sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `(c' sh: -c: line 1: `xvt -T 'Scanning for TV channels ...' -e scantv -n NTSC -f USA (cable) -o ~/.xawtv' After this, xawtv starts, but in the wrong mode. I can change the mode and get picture. [I didn't get any sound either, but I forgot to look at my mixer settings and check sound in other applications. Argh, that's sloppy testing!! Please ignore this point until I reboot again in 8.2 beta4] Below is the output from lspcidrake -v -f Best, Narfi. agpgart : Intel Corporation|440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge [BRIDGE_HOST] (vendor:8086 device:7190) unknown : Intel Corporation|440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge [BRIDGE_PCI] (vendor:8086 device:7191) unknown : Intel Corporation|82371AB PIIX4 ISA [BRIDGE_ISA] (vendor:8086 device:7110) unknown : Intel Corporation|82371AB PIIX4 IDE [STORAGE_IDE] (vendor:8086 device:7111) usb-uhci : unknown (8086/7112/ffff/ffff) [SERIAL_USB] sonypi : Intel Corporation|82371AB PIIX4 ACPI - Bus Master IDE Controller [BRIDGE_OTHER] (vendor:8086 device:7113) bttv : Brooktree Corporation|Bt878 [MULTIMEDIA_VIDEO] (vendor:109e device:036e subv:0070 subd:13eb) btaudio : Brooktree Corporation|Bt878 [MULTIMEDIA_OTHER] (vendor:109e device:0878 subv:0070 subd:13eb) snd-card-ymfpci : Yamaha Corporation|YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1073 device:000d) hptraid : Triones|HPT366 [STORAGE_OTHER] (vendor:1103 device:0004) hptraid : Triones|HPT366 [STORAGE_OTHER] (vendor:1103 device:0004) tulip : Lite-On|LC82C115 PNIC-II [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:11ad device:c115 subv:11ad subd:c001) Card:ATI Rage 128: ATI|Rage 128 VR AGP 1x/2x [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:524c subv:1002 subd:0008) unknown : Virtual|Hub [] (vendor:0000 device:0000)
