Fixed it a moment ago.

I'm curious. On the back of my ipod is engraved a model number A1136, but gtkpod lists A1146 as the appropriate number. How important are these numbers? I've filled it in by hand with the number from the back, but if it expects one of a certain list, perhaps I should choose the slightly incorrect ...

Wonder what causes this - eagle, another cross platform program has this same problem (& solution)

I haven't noticed any other hardware problems. I've run it as both root and my normal user, with by now several user profile resets.

I've had a problem for close to a year now, but it's been happening more often recently so I need to solve it... firefox hard freezes my system. It doesn't matter if I'm using normal kde or beryl, so it's not that (I normally run beryl) but beyond the fact that firefox is open & often a flash ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work (and I hope it would have been done with an emerge -e mozilla-firefox anyway). This is actually really cutting into my productivity on linux, as I use google calendar a lot (requires secure access) and gmail has now logged me out, along with a ...

Whenever I try to visit a secure (https://) page, I get the following:

Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.

The tuner module should be from the kernel... do you have everything enabled in there that you need?

Sorry, no lirc here.

When I was looking into this I checked my dmesg. It's been a long time since I've had to work with the tv drivers, but I remembered there being more then just bttv lines in dmesg around where the modules were loaded. lsmod confirmed that it was the tuner module which was ...

Well, my title was more helpful than I realized. The bttv module does not pull in the tuner module anymore for some reason. Loaded it by hand and the tv works perfectly again.

My problem was exactly the same... and I just solved it! The bttv driver was loading correctly but not pulling in the tuner module. Try loading the 'tuner' module and see if that fixes the problem for you.

EDIT: I've found several references to the fact that bttv is not in fact v4l2, and just has a v4l2 compatability layer (if anything). This explains the v4l1 requirement.

I have a feeling this is due to incorrect tuner settings, yet dmesg shows everything is being loaded correctly:

localhost Chris # dmesg | grep bttv
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded

Hi, I was wondering if you'd made any progress on this. I spent all yesterday trying to get my tmobile dash to connect and was pointed to http://www.synce.org/index.php/Building_SynCE_with_Windows_Mobile_2005_support_from_Subversion on their irc channel, however I also get linking problems against ...

I'm curious about this as well. http://bttv-v4l2.sourceforge.net/ shows that the kernel driver should be v4l2, and I'm fairly certain that's what it's said for a long time. I didn't worry too much about the change, but now my card will _not_ change channels (ATI TV Wonder VE). Never had this problem ...

Well despite all the problems that pointed towards agp/glx, my system suddenly works. I assumed it was because I had tried again without any kernel agp support (in 2.6.17), but then I upgraded to 2.6.19-r1 which requires the full IOMMU, AGPGART and AMD64 support which I'd disabled before ...

Just curious what the problem you were having with your bt848 card was. I've had a huge number of problems recently and just got X working to find that I cannot change channels on my card. Tvtime and mplayer show that the channel is changing but I'm always stuck on the same channel.

Is there any way to check the status of AGP besides dmesg and the nvidia proc entries? If I'm not loading nvidia, is there some way to check the current status of AGP?

I've got a MSI Master2FAR mobo (VIA K8T 800 chipset). I have no idea whether it is supported by nvidia or not. My choice to use the kernel driver comes from around when amd64 gentoo was just getting started. Since it is built into the kernel I've never needed the NvAGP option though I did just try ...

Odd, I've always used the AMD64 kernel driver (I just double checked my old configs to make sure). Those three config options I posted above I've had for a couple of years. Disabling the AMD64 part (just leaving generic AGPGART) does not help - the nvidia driver status does not say agp becomes ...

In http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-517224-highlight-wfb.html they mention that the module is only available for the 8800 series, and that it's available from nvidia's website. Why the portage version of the drivers causes that module to be wanted I'm not sure (I'm using the latest unstable ...

Sounds like it might be related to several other nvidia problems I've seen recently...
