 |
|
hello,
I wanted to set up my tv card (terratec ciergy tv 400, saa7134 chip).
As gentoo-wiki says, my card needs the saa7134 kernel module.
| Code: | Multimedia devices --->
<M> Video For Linux (config: CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV, module: videodev)
Video capture adapters --->
<M> Philips SAA7134 support (config: CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134, module: saa7134)
|
I couldn't find this in menuconfig 
Putting CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134 into .config manually also didn't work.
Was this module taken out of the kernel?
PS: kernel version: 2.6.23-r9 |

you are probably missing another option somewhere else...
Or, try the mercurial branch of v4l - v4l-dvb-hg should have it, otherwise grab it yourself.
You *may* have to roll back your kernel version - at least for my card (em2880) it seems like a possibility.

thanks, v4l-dvb-hg recognizes my card, /dev/video* now shows up.
kaffeine however doesn't recognize the card. I'll try mythtv instead |

also, give tvtime a whirl...
...seems to be the best for analog viewing.
