I have two TV cards that I have user in the past with SuSE on in an old IXMicro card the other is a PixelView card. The last version of SuSE O had these working with was 9.0 since then neither card has worked. To prove a point I downgraded my test machine (removeable discs) from 9.2 to 9.1 and neither card would work. I then went back to 9.0 and at least the IXMicro card works, I didn't try the other. 9.0 was the last SuSE distro to use the 2.4.x kernel so my questions are: 1) What has broken, does anyone have any clues? 2) Alternatively what TV cards will work with 9.2? I'm in the UK and so use the PAL-I TV standard. The symptoms are the bttv module loads, kdetv or other TV programs see "snow" but scanning for channels fails to find any signals. I have let YAST autodetect the cards and I have manually configured the cards including specifying the tuner module to no avail. I'm getting the following errors in the log: bttv0: SCERR @36531000,bits: HSYNC OFLOW FBUS SCERR* bttv0: timeout: drop=54 irq=55138/61043, risc=2264104c, bits: HSYNC OFLOW FDSR Whilst kdetv is running and with some logging enabled for the BTTV driver I get something like this repeated over and over although this may just be ongoing logging of normal operation: bttv0: risc packed : line 0 ptr eb7840010 (repeated through to) bttbv0 risc packed: line 157 ptr eb7845f8 bttv0: risc packed: 64 sglist elems bttv0: loop=0 fc=4955 riscs=1, riscc=366fa01c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4956 riscs=1, riscc=32d22024, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4957 riscs=1, riscc=3b2c05a4, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC 7 FDSR bttv0: loop=0 fc=4958 riscs=1, riscc=366f103c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC FBUS bttv0: loop=0 fc=4959 riscs=1, riscc=32d2301c, bits: VSYNC* HSYNC bttv0: loop=0 fc=4960 riscs=4, riscc=2b7bf01c, bits: HSYNC 7 RISCI* FDSR bttv0/vbi: buf prepare c19ca6e0: top=c19c1784 bottom=c19ca791 field=seq-tb tbbv0/vbi: queue c19ca6e0 Thanks in advance for any advise guys. -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet SIP Phone: 1-747-244-2699

I'm getting the following errors in the log:

Whilst kdetv is running and with some logging enabled for the BTTV driver I get something like this repeated over and over although this may just be ongoing logging of normal operation:

1) What has broken, does anyone have any clues? Not sure as mine works OK. But here's some suggestions. If you specified

Look in the kernel sources for the bttv docs. There is a list of cards, each one numbered, and a list of tuners, also numbered. /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner For example, mine is a Zoltrix TV-MAX, which is number 15, and it uses Philips PAL-I tuner (1) - which on this card is not detectable, hence I had to figure this out. Now try: rmmod bttv insmod bttv card=15 tuner=1 substituting the numbers for yours and see what you get.
2) Alternatively what TV cards will work with 9.2? I'm in the UK and so use the PAL-I TV standard. The zoltrix ones work pretty good, although they might not be the hottest quality. And don't buy them if you intend to use them in Windows too. I don't have any experience with any other, unfortunately.
