Hello,

has anyone managed to get the Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 card to work
with SUSE 9.3? Especially, on an Athlon64 system. YAST did not work,
but after googling I managed to install firmware by extracting it from
the supplied windows drivers. Now ivtv detects my card and loads the
firmware. However, there seems to be something wrong with my /dev/vbi*
files.

When I start kdetv, it ends with: 

kdetv: WARNING: VBIDecoder: vbi_capture_v4l_new error: Sorry,
/dev/vbi4 (Vanilla iTVC15 card) cannot capture any of the requested
data services.
kdetv: WARNING: [VBIDecoder::restart()] no permission to access device
kdetv: WARNING: MainWindow::setupInfraRed(): Lirc not available
kdetv: WARNING: SaverControl: Error in DCOP communication. Unable to
disable KDE Screensaver.
kdetv: WARNING: ... failed. kdetv likely does not to work with your
device and/or your current filter config.


And if I run scantv it looks like this:

What is /dev/vbi, and why does it not work? 


Thanks,
