sjaglin Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Hi, I carry-on my investigations into getting a dvb-t to work under Mandriva 2007. The card is a wintv nova-t from Hauppauge with an IR remote control. The chip on the card is from connexant and its id is cx2388x. [root@linux-box dev]# lsmod | grep cx cx8800 28460 0 cx88xx 55620 1 cx8800 ir_common 24484 2 bttv,cx88xx i2c_algo_bit 9352 2 bttv,cx88xx video_buf 21220 3 bttv,cx8800,cx88xx tveeprom 14192 2 bttv,cx88xx i2c_core 17536 5 bttv,nvidia,cx88xx,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom v4l2_common 15648 2 bttv,cx8800 compat_ioctl32 1952 2 bttv,cx8800 v4l1_compat 14212 1 cx8800 btcx_risc 4840 3 bttv,cx8800,cx88xx videodev 8064 3 bttv,cx8800,cx88xx and lspci : .......... 04:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) 04:09.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05) 04:09.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05) root@linux-box dev]# So it seems that the device is correctly detected. When I start kdetv, the program detects the card and tries to find some channel with no success. Drakconf detects the card with brand and chip correctly recognised, but the IR remote appears in the keyboards (still with correct name). The card works under windows (Boooh!) and detects all the local channels from my local aerial (uk-Mendip). What I don t get is that I should have a device in /dev/dvb/ and I don t have this directory! So my questions are : -even though Drakconf has detected the card and the remote, does it mean that they are correctly installed? -Where can I find out if they are actually installed. -where can I see them in my modprobe.conf? alias eth0 forcedeth alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_nv; /bin/true install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true alias eth1 eth1394 alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } options visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x061 blacklist audio blacklist snd-usb-audio All probably very basic stuff but it's just getting on my nads a little bit! Thanks for your help! Stef. Edited December 1, 2006 by sjaglin@yahoo.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhobbes Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Just got mine working too :D How are you guys using your remotes ? Numbers 0-9 and also the arrow keys and select button appear to be working out of the box. But Im only able to change channels in Kaffeine with 0-9. Ill need to do some messing around. Thanks again.
