I get my PCTV working with PAL-M all ok. Before talking directly with the bttv father and send some dmesg for hin, so he tell me wath to do. Install a 2.6.10 kernel with this patch http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.10-2/tuner-update. How to do that in Mandrake 10.1? Add cooker with easy_urpmi Install kernel-source-2.6.10-1mdk Download the tuner-update file patch -p0 < tuner-update He will ask for the files to update, do a locate to find the fold files that mus be in /usr/src/linux/... Compile the kernel and get I recent kernel with your won configuration and Pinnacle PCTV working in PAL-M. :lol: To Gerd Knorr, the bttv father... In the Box is saying... Compatible with Windows 95 or better, so I installer Linux!

Everyday is a new day with new things happen... The crashs with UT2004 is resolved with Option "UseFastTLS" "2". Today I have installed xorg 6.8.0 from urpmi cookers on my mdk10.1. Now the fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6 that are running on xorg 6.7 don`t running in 6.8 and fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1 don`t works too. Blinks the screen and go to text mode with some core dumps. I don`t know how many time I will survive without play my 3D games, so please, HELPPPPPPPPPP... Thanks people.

I think that your problem with the X is the use of Kernel-Secure. This Kernel don't let the X to come up for security reasons. To use X you will need a normal Kernel. But if you will intall that things in your firewalll why don't install a full distro like MDK10.1? The only reason to exist the MNF is to be slin and unusable if hacked. MNF is only a striped version of MDK. If u want more things with some secure close to MNF, install MDK 10.1 without ftp, telnet,ssh,vnc,vi... clients, so if it be hacked, the agressor cannot do much in your net, and you will have a little more time to detect the intrusion before the guy get able to do something. But if you want a advance, you simple don't need X to configure a server. The Webmin have all u need, and if don't have, try to search for new modules for webmin and install it.

Hi! Take a look what I need to do... I need to do a proxy server that will act like that... In a lan with aprox. 50 nodes... When someone come with u notebook and plug this, no mather the OS, he must to be able to use the Internet without configurations cose hin is a ordinary User. And the cool part now... Each one simple cannot see the others. I think in add 50 virtual ips to the Server eth and configure 50 subnets in dhcp. I know that Linux support at least 255 virtual ips on one eth, but I don't know if dhcp will like that. I try this later. But opinions, suggestions and comments are appreciated. Thanx n 1 in advance!

Somebody know why the UT2004 Demo (Both versions) crashs about 10 minutes of online playing? It seens to only occur when the Display Settings have All in Highest and High and Trilinear. With Trilinear disabled and All in Normal its never crashed. Is lock or the High settings overflow something?

17/01 ATI done the fglrx drive 8.8.25-1 for Xorg 6.8.0. I now running with the 3.14.6 drivers ok. The new drivers blink my screen and crash the Xorg with some core dumps. I use Mandrake 10.1 that is shiped with Xorg 6.7 and the new ATI drives are for Xorg 6.8. If somebody know how to intall this in Xorg 6.7 I want to know too please. Bye!

Man, if you still see this post I getting close to get my Pinnacle PCTV Mono to works correctly in Mandrake Linux 10.1 in Brazil with PAL-M and us-cable channels. The only problem is: The video comes Ok with all the colors, but the sound comes only a constant white noise. Any idea? ps. My PCTV is plugged internelly with AUX cable in my Sound Blaster Live 5.1. And u, backed up to WinXP or Win the battle in Linux? --- Today I noted this: Now XawTv and KdeTv Boots up my pc The beatyfull TvTime works like this: When I select Pal-M the images comes Ok but the sound moised and when I select NTSC the image comes B&W w/ a little of green and pink but the sound comes Ok. If theres a way to set Pal-M only to image and NTSC only to sound will be cool. :D But the corect is all PAL-M! I noticed too that the problens is not w/ my Sound card or config cose plug a speaker in the AUDIO OUT of the PCTV Card makes the same noise when in PAL-M and Wok sound when in NTSC, the problen seend to with the bttv drive or the drive that controls the Silver Box (Forget the name of that now :-).

Hi! First of all thanx 4 the reply. I reformated my pc because I changed my mainboard, processor and sound board. But this time I installer the Windows XP. :unsure: The important things about the dmesg is above but I can try with pclos if I can make it works with my new pc. I don't know wath tunner I have, but that in dmesg is autodetected and the autodetect is rigth about the sound and radio. ( pinnacle/mt: id=5 info="NTSC / mono" radio=no ) So I give up of Linux as my desktop OS and now I'm happy with my tv in color and the ePSXe working in XP. But if you have questions about Linux and/or about pctv in Linux, put it here and if is something that I know I'll help you. And if you someday discovery the answers to my doubts, post it here too, maybe I give to Linux another try as a desktop/multimedia OS. :D

Hi 4 n 1. I'm not a NB but I'm currently 2 months searching for a answer for this question and can't find anything. I'm thinking in stop with linux in my home multimedia desktop and come back to XP. Why? I have a Pinnacle PCTV with Mandrakelinux 10 Official in a AMD Duron based system. I'm living in Brazil and here we have the cable TV working with PAL-M and US-CABLE. When I put the PCTV to work with NTSC, ut works but in Black and White. And when I put it to work in PAL-M, simple don't work. I tryed xawtv, tvtime, fbtv, with MDK10, MMove and PCLOS P7 and always is the same. I discovered something with scantv but I cannot understand why: # scantv -n PAL-M -f us-cable vbi: open failed [/dev/v4l/vbi0] open /dev/v4l/vbi0: Invalid argument (With NTSC works ok and find various channels.) It seens that bttv module is not currently accepting PAL-M. But why? Here is whre living all my problems with linux. But today a new thing happened: I buy a Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1, turned off the onboard sound in hardware setup and plugged the new sound card. The linux have started and detected all ok. The sound works perfect. (TV currently B&W working in NTCS) So I booted the first time after a hour (+-), and when booted up the sound continue to work perfect but the bttv and ic2 modules do not started with stupid errors, something like "wrong symbol" or "invalid option: ic2_debug", etc. What the SB Live changed in this? Only 2 lines added to modules.conf about snd-emu10k1. And the rest is there bttv, ic2, etc. Why, why, why is not working anymore? And why, why,why when works, works only with NTSC and not with PAL-M? My dmesg and lspci before SB live if anyone can help me.: >dmesg |grep bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0b.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xea002000 bttv0: detected: Pinnacle PCTV [card=39], PCI subsystem ID is 11bd:0012 bttv0: using: Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rave [card=39,autodetected] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffefff [init] bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found bttv0: pinnacle/mt: id=5 info="NTSC / mono" radio=no bttv0: using tuner=33 bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found bttv0: registered device video0 bttv0: registered device vbi0 bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok >lspci (...) 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) I like Linux but I need this little things to stay in control of my mind day by day. Sorry my poor english. Is not my default language. And thanx a lot 4 n F1!

Hi, i'm from Brazil. Here we have PAL-M. I have a Pinnacle PCTV with remote control and without radio. This works perfect in XP. I'm do like to use in MDK10.1, but I can't. In PAL-M works only the image, the sound come noised. In NTSC the images comes B&W but the sound comes Ok Do somebody knows how can I put this to work and kick up XP? Thanx 4 n F1!
