Hi everybody,
   I am trying to configure my Linux Mandrake 7.0 to watch TV. I've got an
MiroPCTV card, and the programs xawtv and Kwintv.

    When I run xawtv, it runs, but I am not capable of tunning any chanel (all
the screen appears blue and with bars). I've tried all the possible
configurations (in theory, for Spain the correct configuration should be PAL
and pal-europe). What did I do wrong?
 

This is xawtv-3.07, running on Linux/i586 (2.2.14-15mdk)
visual: id=0x22 class=4 (TrueColor), depth=24
x11: 1024x768, 32 bit/pixel, 4096 byte/scanline, DGA, VidMode
waitpid: No hay ningún proceso hijo
waitpid: No hay ningún proceso hijo
v4l: 1024x768, 32 bit/pixel, 4096 byte/scanline
WARNING: v4l and dga disagree about the framebuffer base
WARNING: Is v4l-conf installed correctly?
ov_fbuf.base=(nil), base=0xe6000000
WARNING: overlay mode disabled
wmhooks: kde
 

    I think that it could be a problem in the video4linux configuration. The
guide I am using to configure my card says that it could be necessary to
compile the kernel in order to configure the video4linux utility. It says that
I must go to the /usr/src/linux directory and then type: "make xconfig", but
when I do that, the following error message appears:

make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'.  Stop.

     What's wrong with the command?
 

     My last question: I've tried to configure the kwintv program, but after
installing the RPM file, when I type "kwintv", the following error message
appears:
kwintv

Debug: v4l1: Using interface Video4Linux in ::v4lxif
Fatal: v4lx: Error opening v4lx device /dev/video: Device busy in ::v4lxif

      Why does this message appear?
 

      Please, help me!! I'm trying to move to Linux, but I find it extremely
difficult. I was able to overcome some difficulties without any help (i.e: I
could configure my PCI winmodem), but I need some help to solve this
problem!!
 

       Thanks very much.
