kdetv + nvidia + SuSE 9.1 = Problems
I have just installed Suse 9.1 and was able to get kdetv working without a problem. I updated via YOU and selected to install the latest nvidia drivers. This all worked very well. I rebooted and was getting the Nvidia Splash Screen when switching into X. Now when I try to run kdetv nothing shows up on the screen. It acts like there is no video source. I noticed under devices there is the lising of " NVIDIA Video Interface Port - XVideo prot 140". While under SuSE 8.2 the device listed under kdetv is: "BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) Video4Linux(/dev/video)". Can anyone tell me how to setup kdetv under SuSE 9.1 using the nvidia drivers. Somewhere the configuration for kdetv was changed when I installed the Nvidia driver.

Right-click on the Kdetv window and choose "Configure kdetv". Then select "BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) Video4Linux(/dev/video)" This works on my (Hauppauge (bt878)+Nvidia) system. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

I used to have the same problem although not all the time, maybe in 3 out 4 boots kdetv would just show NVIDIA Video Interface Port in the devices list. I don't think it was a problem with kdetv because I couldn't watch tv with other tv apps also (like xawtv or zapping). Looking in /dev I found out that /dev/video was pointing to /dev/video0 but /dev/video0 did not exist, only video1,video2,video3,... was there. I tried using one of those with xawtv but it didn't work. For the last few days the problem doesn't occur anymore, although I don't know what I did to resolve it (the only thing I can think of is some updates I did through YOU and apt but I'm pretty sure none of them was v4l or X related). So if anyone can offer a solution to this problem I would be glad to hear it too incase this happens again in the future

Hi .. Reading your problem that says to me that on bootup the /dev/video0 device had failed to create so it seems a boot time problem rather than an upgrade problem Suse 9.1 Nvidia fx5200 , Athlon xp+ 2700 Nvidia drivers (installed by hand not thru yast) Haupage tv card and no problems at all -- G6NJR Pete otherwise known as "Quinton 11" A Linux Only area Happy bug hunting M$ clan Pete,,,,, :-)

OK I have made some progress. I went back into yast hardware module to detect the card. Started kdetv, selected Hauppauge as driver and got a black screen with sound (better then blue screen without sound). Clicked on driver and check Nvidia and then Hauppauge. Now I have a picture but the color is washed out. Appears to be black&white. I and edit the picture for brightness, color, hue, etc but non of
