Re: [Mjpeg-users] Zoran module question
Hallo Last week I installed mjpegtools under Fedora Core 4 for the first time. I had a list of the modules that I had previously required, so I modprobed them. All went fine, except the zoran module, which returned a 'not found' message, IIRC. However, the tools are working perfectly, so I have to assume that the zoran bit is being handled differently. So you did use the linux kerne driver ? Which kernel do you use, and whant command's did you execute ? When you load everything by hand you need to load the zr36067 module (hopefully built). That is the name of the zoran chipset. There is a different Zoran Chipset for video card's. So you can't use zoran. The command's should look like that: modprobe vpx3220 modprobe adv7175 modprobe zr36016 modprobe zr36050 modprobe zr36067 default_norm=0 lock_norm=0 pass_through=0 lml33dpath=1 for a DC30. Normaly you should only need to do a modprobe of the zr36067 if the modprobe file is configured correct. I think Ronald has pasted a sample config once on the mailinglist. Unless you want to record from a zoran based card with lavrec you don't need the kernel dirver to be able to work with the mjpegtools. I'm preparing a presentation for a LUG, so would like to understand better what is happening. Could someone please explain why I had to load it under Mandriva, but I don't have to under Fedora? Is this, perhaps, because something is included in later kernels that is not present in earlier ones? Might be, but you need to give some exact information. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I can't be certain, but I think that I was using a 2.6.12 kernel with Mandriva, when I had to load the zoran module. Does that make sense? Anne pgpUHJBZwi029.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, the tools are working perfectly, so I have to assume that the zoran bit is being handled differently. I'll need dmesg output. Ideally, you'd load zr36067 with debug=4 so I have a lot of debug output. Also, load videodev.ko before zr36067, I don't know why, but it sometimes makes a difference (?). When you load everything by hand you need to load the zr36067 module (hopefully built). That is the name of the zoran chipset. There is a different Zoran Chipset for video card's. So you can't use zoran. This is actually crucial, and it sort of sucks that our driver used to be zoran.o in our CVS, but zr36067.ko in the kernel. C'est la vie... The command's should look like that: modprobe vpx3220 modprobe adv7175 modprobe zr36016 modprobe zr36050 modprobe zr36067 default_norm=0 lock_norm=0 pass_through=0 lml33dpath=1 for a DC30. Normaly you should only need to do a modprobe of the zr36067 if the modprobe file is configured correct. I think Ronald has pasted a sample config once on the mailinglist. So, what I used is this (in /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modules.conf): alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 zr36067 After that, starting lavrec or any TV-app (including v4l-config) will auto-load the modules. Since my X (and all recent Fedora/Mandrake/etc. distibutions, afaik) detects TV cards (xv/v4l extension) on startup, this means all drivers are loaded on bootup. This will work for about half the cards (DC10+ included, but not DC30 or Buz). The dmesg will tell you the card type could not be detected and that you have to use the card=X parameter. For those, you'll need an additional: options zr36067 card=X where X can be looked up in the FAQ or in the Zoran README included in Documentation/ in the kernel. All the other options are optional for all cards. I don't think you need to load zr36050 or any of the i2c modules before zr36067, zr36067 loads those automagically. However, if you run the CVS driver uninstalled and use the ./update script, then the script will pre-load those i2c/codec modules before loading zr36067, since the modules are not installed in the default path and therefore i2c/codec module loading from the default path after autodetection fails (and it would bail out). However, this probably does not apply to the question Anne is asking.
