My Hauppauge WinTV 950 has quit working.

[Featherfoot]

I recently upgraded to kernel 3.7.9 and the many new versions of udev. Along the way I noticed that my Hauppauge WinTV 950 USB TV has quit working.

It was working earlier, and the key to pretty much everything using the TV tuner was to have /dev/video0 set. That is no longer the case.

I have verified that xc5000 is still specified in the .config file for 3.7.9 and the firmware is still located in /lib/firmware. I have tried "modprobing" xc500, the appropriate driver. I don't see any device showing up.

I'd appreciate some help to answer a few questions and of course to get the driver working again:

1. Is the driver actually running? How can I verify it?
2. What is it that causes the firmware to be loaded?
3. Have the changes to udev caused the device to be created somewhere else?

Anybody?

I experimented with creating the /dev/video0 device as recommended by http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Webcam-HOWTO/dev-intro.html and I got one step further but after the next time I started tvtime again, it was deleted. (I understand tvtime is being masked, but it did work.)

Perhaps these devices are now supposed to be created by udev or are created somewhere else. Your insights would be appreciated.

[salahx]

I have an Hauppauge WinTV 850 USB TV, but its very similar to the 950Q (which seems to be what you using) - uses the same chipset (xc5000). Using gentoo-sources-3.7.10, mine works just fine. The xc5000 will load its firmware when something tries to capture from it:

[Featherfoot]

Sorry to be so slow to get back to you.

I have the 950, not the 950Q, but I think the driver is still the same.

As I said, the xc5000 driver used to be in my system. As of kernel 3.7.10 it is gone. I can't figure out why and what makes it show up.

[jasn]

Under;

[Featherfoot]

I think we're looking at 2 different configuration systems. I don't see the "Customize TV Tuners" section and I didn't see any reference to XC5000 tuners. I do see a "Media USB Adapters" section which has a bunch of Hauppauge stuff and a "Media PCI Adapters" section.

I eventually turned off "Autoselect tuners and i2c modules to build" and the "Customize TV tuners" menu appeared. I made sure that the xc5000 driver was selected. It was. I rebuilt my kernel with no change.

There are no references to xc5000 or firmware in any of the boot messages. I also tried doing an "insmod xc5000" and it fails.

[Featherfoot]

It is very interesting that while "insmod xc5000" fails, there is a driver named xc5000.
