 |
|
Using 2.6.39-gentoo-r2, I am having some trouble figuring out what to do to make my PVR-350 work again.
Until recently, booting up 2.6.35-gentoo-r5, I'd find the following modules loaded and I could execute ivtv-tune -c 13 -d /dev/video0 and watch SDTV using vlc:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
tuner 18622 2
tea5767 5757 1 tuner
tda8290 12925 1 tuner
tuner_xc2028 19485 1 tuner
xc5000 11371 1 tuner
tda9887 8893 1 tuner
tuner_simple 13290 1 tuner
tuner_types 10825 1 tuner_simple
mt20xx 11042 1 tuner
tea5761 4010 1 tuner
msp3400 26443 1
saa7127 8623 1
saa7115 13907 1
ivtv 142251 0
cx2341x 16732 1 ivtv
v4l2_common 6034 6 tuner,msp3400,saa7127,saa7115,ivtv,cx2341x
videodev 62595 7 tuner,msp3400,saa7127,saa7115,ivtv,cx2341x,v4l2_common
v4l1_compat 14960 1 videodev
v4l2_compat_ioctl32 10147 1 videodev
tveeprom 13257 1 ivtv |
Now the following modules are no more: tuner, ivtv, v4l1_compat and tveeprom.
Emerging ivtv-utils produces the warning:
| Code: | * CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1: is not set when it should be.
* CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV: is not set when it should be.
|
I understand that it's impossible to set the VIDEO_V4L1 and VIDEO_IVTV because of the advancements that have been made in v4l. tveeprom is still available in /lib/modules/2.6.36-r5 (and in the corresponding directories of several of its predecessors) but not in 2.6.39-r2.
So, my question would be, how to revise my configuration to make the PVR-350 usable again?

It turns out that you have to enable RC_CORE (presumably on account of the PVR-350's IR interface) in order to see IVTV in "make xconfig."
See /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/ivtv/Kconfig:
| Code: | config VIDEO_IVTV
tristate "Conexant cx23416/cx23415 MPEG encoder/decoder support"
depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && PCI && I2C
select I2C_ALGOBIT
depends on RC_CORE
select VIDEO_TUNER
select VIDEO_TVEEPROM
select VIDEO_CX2341X
select VIDEO_CX25840
select VIDEO_MSP3400
select VIDEO_SAA711X
select VIDEO_SAA717X
select VIDEO_SAA7127
select VIDEO_CS53L32A
select VIDEO_M52790
select VIDEO_WM8775
select VIDEO_WM8739
select VIDEO_VP27SMPX
select VIDEO_UPD64031A
select VIDEO_UPD64083
---help---
This is a video4linux driver for Conexant cx23416 or cx23415 based
PCI personal video recorder devices.
This is used in devices such as the Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500
cards. There is a driver homepage at <http://www.ivtvdriver.org>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ivtv.

There's evidently lots of confusion about this in the wild, judging from what Google brings up for "IVTV 2.6.38" from MythTV, Fedora, and other applications and distros.
