hey geeks,

i installed gentoo 4 times. and i've got tvtime working every time without any problem. but last saturday, my harddrives thinks it's time for a headcrash. so i lost my xf86config. ok, i installed gentoo again and after that tvtime. but tvtime won't start. to test my tvcard i just emerged xawtv. xawtv works fine. i made a xawtv -hwscan:

Code:
This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-ck6)
looking for available devices
port 53-53                              [ -xvport 53 ]
    type : Xvideo, video overlay
    name : video4linux

/dev/v4l/video0: OK                     [ -device /dev/v4l/video0 ]
    type : v4l
    name : BT878(Hauppauge (bt878))
    flags: overlay capture tuner


and this is the XF86config module section:

Code:
Section "Module"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "v4l"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xtrap"
#       Load  "glx"
        Load  "speedo"
        Load  "xft"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "freetype"
EndSection


installing the nvidia-kernel module, tvtime works fine. but after 2 minutes, the computer freezes. it's reproduceable.

last but not least, the tvtime error message:

Code:
#xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.


if everybody has any suggestions that helps me to fork tvtime working, i'll be happy.

thnx anyway

marc

ps: sorry, but you can compare my english with my success of installing tvtime ;)

hey,

buggy things are going on. i made an emerge sync and then i've updated my system. emerge wants to update the current nvidia-kernel from 4463 to 4496. i thought: ok, let's test it! and i'm happy. it works fine. no freezes, no crashes. now i come to a decision: next graphix card will be nvidia ;)

i hope this will help someone else.

now i can go to bed ;)

bye marc
