[ivtv-users] Card not working..

[Eric Wescott]

Well, I applied (manually) the giga.diff patch to the source and it 
doesn't work. I thought that patched worked in the past but I could be 
wrong. I then reverted to the original source that comes with kernel 
2.6.29.6 (seems to be 1.4.0) and did the following.

modprobe ivtv cardtype=1 to 100
used v4l2-ctlr to check every input and cat /dev/video0 > card#-input#.mpg

I wasn't able to get video from any cardtypes but several did produce 
sound.
Both from the R/L composite style cable and some static which I assume 
comes from the tuner as I didn't have anything plugged into the RF 
connection.

Also, there was a few cards that gave me a full gray window rather than 
a black one which may be of use.
Any other suggestions? I KNOW I had it working in the past..

NOTE: There were a couple cardtypes (forget the numbers off hand and I 
don't have access to that machine just this second) that produces quite 
a few errors and would not allow me to modprobe -rf ivtv after forcing 
me to reboot to continue testing.

Thanks again
Eric
