I'd like to load four tv cards as follows:
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=2,2,2,2 tuner=43,43,43,43 video_nr=1,2,3,4
vbi_nr=1,2,3,4 radio_nr=1,2,3,4 alsa=1,1,1,1
sudo modprobe saa7134-alsa index=1,2,3,4
Now I use a script, but I need this to happen by default and thought
I'd learn the right way.
I've spent a couple of hours now trying to figure out how Debian is
designed to do this now and achieved zilch.
This is on a fresh amd64 sarge install, dist-upgrade to sid, and the
latest kernel.
Here are some of my failed attempts:
1. In /etc/discover.conf I set "skip saa7134" (no effect)
2. In /etc/udev/devfs.rules, I changed 0 to 1 (no effect)
# video devices
KERNEL=="video[1-9]*", NAME="v4l/%k"
KERNEL=="radio[1-9]*", NAME="v4l/%k"
KERNEL=="vbi[1-9]*", NAME="v4l/%k"
KERNEL=="vtx[1-9]*", NAME="v4l/%k"
3. In /etc/modutils/aliases, I added this and ran update-modules (no
effect):
alias char-major-81-1 saa7134
alias char-major-81-2 saa7134
alias char-major-81-3 saa7134
alias char-major-81-4 saa7134
4. In /etc/modutils/actions, I added this and ran update-modules (no
effect):
options saa7134 card=2,2,2,2 tuner=43,43,43,43 video_nr=1,2,3,4
vbi_nr=1,2,3,4 radio_nr=1,2,3,4 alsa=1,1,1,1
#disable_ir=1,1,1,1 -- causes oops in 2.6.16
post-install modprobe saa7134-alsa index=1,2,3,4
5. Add this to /etc/modules (no effect -- this is what used to work):
saa7134 card=2,2,2,2 tuner=43,43,43,43 video_nr=1,2,3,4 vbi_nr=1,2,3,4
radio_nr=1,2,3,4 alsa=1,1,1,1
saa7134-alsa index=1,2,3,4
I realized I'm making changes ignored by 2.6 kernels and put this in
/etc/modprobe.d/saa7134:
options saa7134 card=2,2,2,2 tuner=43,43,43,43 video_nr=1,2,3,4
vbi_nr=1,2,3,4 radio_nr=1,2,3,4 alsa=1,1,1,1
options saa7134-alsa index=1,2,3,4
That's all it took -- I'm happy. It's nice and simple, and I see the
changeover is fully documented in man update-modules.
I deleted the old directories and reverted the udev changes -- clearly
wrongheaded. Sorry to waste your time.
