SuSE Linux: Versions since 7.2
You want to use a Hauppauge WinTV or similar tv card that is
BT878 or BT848 chipset based with SuSE Linux.
Programs like kwintv
start but you can only see a grey, static picture
and you can´t find a channel.
The Switch to the video input and the video input itself work and show the picture at the video input.
As a result of the multitude of tv cards being on the market meanwhile
it is possible that the type of tuner isn´t implicitly recognized automatically.
You can specify the type easily in the file /etc/modules.conf
.
Edit the file /etc/modules.conf
with your favourite editor. Search for the line:
# options bttv pll=1 radio=0 card=0
Remove the hash at the beginning of the line and modify the whole entry like described below.
The significations of the parameter are explained in /usr/share/doc/packages/Insmod-options
at great length. Provided that the package
bttv.rpm
from series doc3
is installed.
To configure for example an "old" Hauppauge WinTV with radio and the BT848 chipset you should change the line above mentioned as follows:
options bttv radio=1 card=2
Load the module anew
rmmod bttv modprobe bttvand try to start
kwintv
anew. Now everything should function as habitual.
The following values for the parameter "card" can be used
(you can also find the list in /usr/share/doc/packages/bttv/CARDLIST
)
