Hi all

 

I just bought a ASUS TV-FM tuner 7135 card, but I can't make it work. I found a picture and description at bttv under ASUS TVFM7135 (B-TV7135FM-ENG-R1.0). When doing lspci -v:

 

02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA713X Audio+video broadcast decoder (rev f0)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.: Unknown device 4845
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
Memory at eb003000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

and lspci

[root@newton etc]# lspci | grep SAA
02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA713X Audio+video broadcast decoder (rev f0)

 

Kdetv see my card as a 7133 card but it is not possible to see the chanels. Kradio doesn't show any channels either.

 

Kind regards

The problem is that only Asus TV-FM 7133 and 7134 are listed. Mine is a 7135.

 

Somethings have changed though through the last few days i played around with alot of settings and at one point the kdetv icon appeared automatically on the desktop after boot and showed ASUS TV-FM 7133 card - but eventhough i tried to scan through the channels i did not find anything and kradio didn't work either?

That shouldn't matter (as far as I know). The 'Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA713X Audio+video broadcast decoder (rev f0)' is supported by Linux.

 

Do you have mplayer installed? Open a console and type: mplayer tv:// and post the errors.

Hi again - sounds great that the card is actually supported by linux! Well here goes mplayer:

I got a green screen and nothing happend until i exit the program.

 

A funny thing is that the KDETV icon on the desktop isn't there anymore, so guess i have unset som settings again. Anyways in mcc i did the config and chose 7134 as the driver and autodectect to the tuner part. :)

 

Kind regards

I was playing around and tried to do a modprobe - which failed?

 

[root@newton tjansson]# modprobe saa7134
FATAL: Error inserting saa7134 (/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko.gz): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (seedmesg)

 

Dmesg the writes:

saa7134: Unknown parameter `radio'

Do you know if this is normal or the main problem?

I writing alot i know - hopefully sombody else can use this for their on debugging. In the /etc/modprobe.conf mcc had put a option radio=0 which failed. After i removed that part the module loaded okay :)

 

Just before i went to bed a found some site saying that one could look in /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.h and look for uncommented cards or something like that and i found a line saying:

#define SAA7135_BOARD_ASUSTeK_TVFM7135 53

 

In the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-cards.c i found

        [SAA7135_BOARD_ASUSTeK_TVFM7135] = {
               .name           = "ASUS TV-FM 7135",
               .audio_clock    = 0x00187de7,
               .tuner_type     = TUNER_PHILIPS_TDA8290,
               .gpiomask       = 0x200000,
               .inputs         = {{
                       .name = name_tv,
                       .vmux = 1,
                       .amux = TV,
                       .gpio = 0x0000,
                       .tv   = 1,
               },{
                       .name = name_comp1,
                       .vmux = 4,
                       .amux = LINE2,
                       .gpio = 0x0000,
               },{
                       .name = name_svideo,
                       .vmux = 6,
                       .amux = LINE2,
                       .gpio = 0x0000,
               }},
               .radio = {
                       .name = name_radio,
                       .amux = TV,
                       .gpio = 0x200000,
               },

 

which makes me belive that the tuner is a TDA8290. However this i maybe not supported in linux if I am to belive linuxtv.org.

 

I tried to make to see if xawtv would work but I guess that either the tuner part is wrong or something else. I did modprobe saa7134 card=53 and xawtv gave me:

/dev/video1: OK                         [ -device /dev/video1 ]
   type : v4l2
   name : UNKNOWN/GENERIC
   flags: overlay capture tuner
