i can't configure my FlyVideo Lifetec tv card (card no.54) and tuner (no.5) on my SuSE 9.3 pro box. YaST gives up trying to scan channels, saying (may wrap): sh: "card":"54", "tuner":"5": syntax error: operand expected (error token is ""card":"54", "tuner":"5"") hoping that YaST had written the correct config lines in the correct places and was merely failing to scan, i tried 'scantv' and 'scantv4', but no go. no channels are detected. same with xawtv and xawtv4. the same card is working beautifully under winxp. using a GPL-ed driver and a player called DScaler, i was able to generate and use a config file and channel list under windows, but i don't know how to convert it to the xawtv format, or whether it'll be of any use even. on a previous mandrake 9.1 box, too, i was able to get it working by adding these lines to /etc/modules.conf: ================================== alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options i2c-core i2c_debug=1 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=54 fieldnr=1 gbuffers=2 options tuner debug=1 type=5 pal=b ================================== however, adding those to /etc/modprobe.conf.local on SuSE generates error messages from modprobe. i am using the correct video norm (pal) and input type (television), and the appropriate frequency table (europe-west), so those aren't the problem. does anyone have useful ideas? - t. -- cogito, ergo es.
