As root do: dmesg | grep ivtv And compare it to the output of this page: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Suse (might not be exactly the same but the bit about loading the firmware should be there.) That page has sections specific to each suse version I have a WinTV-PVR 350 as well. I run 10.0 at this moment. I have followed that page a few times. One time I had succes, untill there was a kernel upgrade. I have tried again and still get nothing. I have written what I have done down and have again followed it to no avail. I also have written a script to run, as to follow the HOWTO's and README's and what not. I am not realy a newbie, so I have a bit of an idea what I am doing, yet I have enourmous problems getting it to work. First because I am so used that hardware just works with SUSE, second becoause the sites all point from one place to another. As the README and HOWTO's are basicaly an set of instructions you need to follow, why has nobody writen a simpel script that does all that? I treid, but as long as it does not work with me, I can't spread it around. What I did the first time and the script I had written can be found here: http://houghi.org/Fun/haupauge/index.php Again, it is very frustrating that I can not get it to work after several hundred tries and at least 100 hours and about 50 sites, including the one above. Also because I looked before buying and it was said that it would be the easiest card to get working. So if somebody could look at my notes, look at the script and tell me what I missed after the kernel update, please let me know. houghi - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] TV Cards (IT WORKS!)

Went to /etc/modprobe.d/ Edited the tv file to add tuner=44. Rebooted. Right now I'm experimenting with the tuner to see which one is the best, but right now I am up with my card.

While I understand your reaction - I suspect there is a bit of both new Microsoft converts (WELCOME TO FREEDOM!!) and possibly prudent administration. Prudent Administration?!?!?!?! Yes. After making a change to the kernel (which I group inserting modules to the kernel), it is not a bad idea to ensure that a) the system functions, b) the system functions as you intended it and c) there are no unexpected consequences from the change. I would say that once the modules hav been inserted and some preliminary testing has been done, it is wise to do a simple reboot. Do I do that? (god - I sound like Steve Urkel!)

I'll give them a read a bit later. I'm being paged by the secretary of shopping at the moment. I have both cards (one each in different machines) and I too dread suse kernel updated. I did find that with later suse distros, if you don't ruthlessly root out and delete all suse xxx.ko modules for each and every .ko built by the ivtv package it will never work. Then follow the bit about the firmware (/lib/firmware is the place in Suse) and renaming of same. Then depmod -ae and reboot, and it usually works. But miss one suse module and you are usually left with something that does not work. -- _ John Andersen pgpz2CrY3aLBu.pgp Description: PGP signature
