Guest linube Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hello, I have recently installed Mandriva 2007.0 and everything seems to work perfectly (both on my laptop including wireless and desktop). But I have a problem with my WinFast TV 2000 XP card despite I have tried different things that I have read all over places, and still can't make it work. Please shed a light on me, I don't really want to switch back to Windows just because I only want to watch the TV. Here is the dmesg output: bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:02:02.0, irq: 20, latency: 32, mmio: 0xdc001000 bttv0: detected: Leadtek TV 2000 XP [card=34], PCI subsystem ID is 107d:6609 bttv0: using: Leadtek WinFast 2000/ WinFast 2000 XP [card=34,insmod option] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=003ff502 [init] bttv0: using tuner=5 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: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found bttv0: registered device video0 bttv0: registered device vbi0 bttv0: registered device radio0 bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok input: bttv IR (card=34) as /class/input/input2 bttv-input: bttv IR (card=34) detected at pci-0000:02:02.0/ir0 Thank you and greatly appreciate for your helps.

Lexicon Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 add one line to /etc/modprobe.conf as root options bttv card=34 tuner=5 Reboot Tuner maybe other type, probe ....Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest linube Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hello Lexicon, thank you for your reply. I already tried that but it didn't work. I reckon I will have to buy a different one that will work on Linux. However, I am not too sure which one will work with Mandriva 2007.0 or Fedora. Thank you.

Guest linube Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) I finally make it work!!! It is really simple that I have never though of. Just edit this file: dynamic_dev_v4l_video0_dynamic.desktop and uncomment the line # in /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/dynamic_dev_v4l_video0_dynamic.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=KdeTv BT878 video (Leadtek WinFast 20 Comment=Kdetv Exec=/usr/bin/kdetv Terminal=false Icon=kdetv.png Type=Application dynamic_device=/dev/v4l/video0 I am using KDE thought.

Lexicon Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Look here https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...t=0#entry329538 If you have radio add line options bttv radio=1 Edited September 29, 2007 by Lexicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest linube Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks Lexicon, Actually, I just found out that uncomment that line will not work either. Sorry, I am wrong!!! I think I did add the commands that you said in previous post in modprobe.conf in order to make it works. options bttv card=34 autoload=0 radio=1 post-install bttv insmod tuner type=5 I apologise for that.

billydv Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I just wanted to say that after a full wasted day I got it to work. for me I needed to set this in modeprobe.conf options bttv card=34 tuner=38 and this in modprobe.preload bttv bt878 also, kdetv was problematic but tvtime worked fine, needed to scan for channels by frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
