 |
|
Video/Audio Decoder: PHILIPS SAA7133(9 bit)/16-bit audio ADCs
Right Now I am using Compro PCI TV Tuner Card in windows. Do anyone know exactly what I should do for this card? I hope I can watch TV and listen to FM radion in my Linux System. I am using kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r3, and I don't see anything I should enable specifically for SSA7133. Or should I emerge something? Some people post something about SSA7134 on the forum, but I don't quite understand what I should do even after reading them. Need Help.
Thanks

I checked the document found in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134. However, I do not see
Device Drivers --->
Multimedia devices --->
<*> Video For Linux (can be loaded as a module, too -- will be named videodev)
Video For Linux --->
<M> Philips SAA7134 support
I am using kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r3. Does any one know where I can choose the module.
Thanks
Kai

First, according to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/README.saa7134, the saa7134 driver is for saa7130/33/34/35 based TV capture card. So there you go, your SAA7133 can use the saa7134 driver.
Second, you mentioned Compro. According /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134, there is only one compro card: | Code: | | 21 -> Compro VideoMate TV (185b:c100) |
Do a to verify.
Third, do you know how to configure/compile a kernel? Go read Gentoo Installation Handbook: Configuring the Kernel if you do not know how to configure a kernel.
Now, to hold your hand and guide you through the initial steps, these are what I would do:
1. Do the following as root:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
|
2. Now, select
Then select
| Code: | | Multimedia Devices --> |
Then select
| Code: | | <M> Video For Linux |
to build it as module.
In the same page, also select
| Code: | | Video For Linux --> |
And you will see somewhere in the middle, the 11 option,
| Code: | | <M> Philips SAA7134 Support (NEW) |
3. You are done. (of-course make sure you selected the required I2C modules too for video 4 linux). Do these on your own.
| Code: | Device Drivers --> I2C Support -->
<*>I2C Support
<M>I2C Device Interface
I2C Algorithms -->
<M>I2C bit-banging interfaces
|
4. Then build and install your kernel/modules, and reboot.
| Code: | make
make modules_install
mount /boot
make install
|

The Problem I have is that I don't see the option for Philips SAA7134 Support. I am using kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r3. Does anyone use the same kernel? Can you find this option?? Also every time i type lspci, it always says command not found
Kai
Thanks

Did you run it as root? If so, something is very wrong with your gentoo install, because sys-app/pciutils should be automatically installed.
| cching1112 wrote: | | I finally found the option. but when i try to use kdetv, it gives me the following error |
First of all, are the modules saa7134, tuner, v4l_compat, i2c_algor, etc.. loaded?
Secondly, I am not familiar with kdetv, but seems like it is using the v4l X extension. Did you have a in your "modules" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config?
Thirdly, post your dmesg output, it might help.
Lastly, I suggest you try tvtime. My personal experience is that it is the easiest TV program t get setup ad running. |

Hei
make sure you have selected the right input in KMIX and click the green button on the top - e.g. the audio cable from my saa7134 card is connected to the aux input on my motherboard..

Same problem here for a kworld 7130. My card have line-out jack to join with
line-in of soundboard, but i joined the line-out with headphones and no sound
come from here......... Somebody said somewhere it can be the wrong card/tuner selection for saa7134 module, I'm (slowly) trying one by one.... |

I've found a topic in a general-linux board that suggest to use dscaler to
try the card before to configure in linux, i just done and i noticed my
card just works with general PAL tuner, but I have to switch the audio
to "line-2" (and not line-1) and to stereo (mono doesn't works).
Now I have just to figure out how to stick these settings on the linux drivers
(module saa7134) just a couple of days and meybe we are there.... |
