HELP: Hauppauge WinTV PCI BT878 Primio FM

[Lonely Cat]

Hi, all,

Don't know if somebody can help me here. I am struggling with WinTV card
these days. Still no lucky. :-(

Well, Short description here,
1. Linux box, Mandrake7.2, Kernel 2.2.17, Abit BP6 with Dual Celeron 400,
2. Hauppauge TV Primio FM, PCI BT878, TV-Tuner(mono), Text-tv, FM-radio
tuner, Remote control.

Installation steps, just follow the http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/BTTV-Mini-HOWTO-0.3.html very carefully.

Load new modules with,
insmod videodev
insmod i2c verbose=1 scan=1 i2c_debug=0
test -f i2c_chardev.o && xinsmod i2c_chardev
insmod tuner debug=0 type=5
insmod msp3400 debug=0 simple=0
insmod bttv radio=1 card=10 pll=1

dmesg gives,
Linux video capture interface: v0.01 ALPHA
i2c: driver registered: msp3400
bttv0: Brooktree Bt878 (rev 17) bus: 0, devfn: 104, irq: 17, memory:

bttv: 1 Bt8xx card(s) found.
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok
bttv0: Hauppauge eeprom: tuner=Philips FM1216 (5)
bttv0: model: BT878(Hauppauge new (bt878))
i2c: bus registered: bt848-0
i2c: scanning bus bt848-0: found device at addr=0x30

i2c: scanning bus bt848-0: found device at addr=0xc2
i2c: device attached: tuner (addr=0xc2, bus=bt848-0, driver=tuner)

But whenever I launch kwintv or xawtv, the whole machine hangs up, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif
Anybody can give me some suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

I'm using the kernel drivers, compile it into my kernel (not as module) and all works fine.

Thanks for your response, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Would you be more specific? Did you mean compile the bttv.o i2c.o and tuner.o into kernel? No sucn an option in 'make xconfig'.
Please tell me more, http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks again.

In the 2.4-testx kernels there are drivers included... try that... works fine on my hauppauge winTV-card.
