| Post subject: | ATI Tv Wonder Pro Config Problems |
i installed knopmyth without any problems and thought everything would work great the first time ... BUT when i tried to watch live tv the first time the system went to a black screen and locked up my setup: -Celeron 800 -on board video card -ATI Tv Wonder Pro i ran dmesg | grep bttv and received the following error Code: bttv doesn't support your Conexant 2388x card i do have to admit that i only dabble in linux every few years when i get the itch, but i feel confident i can successfully install and run mythtv with some help i have added the following code to /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv: Code: alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options tuner type=2 options bttv card=64 radio=0 tuner=2 but this didnt help any other ideas? |

Why not try R5A15.1? It's running a much more recent kernel and set of v4l drivers. -brendan |

the newer iso installed without any problems and the tuner card seems to be working. i don't have an extra cable line in my office so i haven't tried hooking the cable up yet but it at least shows static when i watch "live tv" i do have a vcr hooked up through the cable though but when i play a vhs tape in the vcr the video doesn't show on the pc. the vcr is configured to play video on channel 3 but channel 3 doesn't show anything in mythtv im trying to copy some vhs tapes before i setup the cable any suggestions? |

i tried last night but it didn't output anything or give an error, it only returned to the prompt i used the following command: Code: dmesg | grep bttv
i tried to run this from an alternate session (CTRL+ALT+F1) and from an xterm from the knoppmyth desktop this worked in R4V5 before; im now running R5A15 |

try cat /var/log/messages | grep bttv 2.6 produces many more messages than 2.4 did and sometimes it overflows dmesg. |

well i figured out why "dmesg | grep bttv" wouldn't work, its not there on a whym i tried "dmesg | grep card" to see if it found any card. it found a card under the cx88 module/chipset (not sure what it is) next i tried "dmesg | grep cx88" which produced the following: Code: cx88{0}: subsystem:1002:00f8, board: ATI TV Wonder Pro [card=4, autodetected]
cx88[0]/0: found at 0000:01:0a.0, rev:5, irq:11, latency:.165, mmio: oxf5000000 tuner 1-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (cx88[0]) cx88[0]/0: registered device video0 [v412] cx99[0]/0: registered device vbi0 im not quite sure what all this means but it looks like it is detecting the correct tuner card. any ideas on how to get it to work? on a second note some of that code may be slightly off b/c i had to transpose it from the linux box to my main windows pc. is there a web browser installed by default on the knoppmyth machine i can run. that would make it much easier to troubleshoot |

Code: echo cx88 >> /etc/modules MythBrowser and Lynx are both available, you can also:Code: apt-get install mozilla-firefox Of course, you should apt-get update first...

i logged in as su and tried "echo cx88 >> etc/modules" but it said permission denied i did look at the /etc/modules file and found cx88 listed several times cx88[0] was at the very bottom i have no idea what this means though |
