[linux-dvb] Hauppauge WinTV Nexus-s recognized but not working

[Walter Schittek <waltersch@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I can't get any confirmation that my DVB card and driver are working 
together. Because I am a beginner with DVB, I would be happy about each 
single tip, perhaps something that is selfunderstood for you.

I have a Nexus-s Rev. 2.1 (model 564) with Tuner Alps BSRU6 and Philips
SAA7146A Chip. Nothing special or new, I suppose.
lspci -v shows that IRQ 11 is only used by this card and not shared.

Because I later want to install VDR, I use the DVB driver proposed there:
linux-dvb.2003-06-08.tar.bz2
(http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm)

make runs without errors or warnings.
make insmod gives one single warning:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.o
insmod: a module named videodev already exists
makedev.napi runs ok.

/var/log/messages says:

Now I test whether it is recognized by xawtv: xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.86, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.19-4GB)
looking for available devices
port 55-55
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : I810 Video Overlay

ioctl: VIDIOCGTUNER(tuner=0;name="";rangelow=0;rangehigh=0;flags=0x0 
[];mode=PAL;signal=0): Das Argument ist ungültig
/dev/video0: OK                         [ -device /dev/video0 ]
    type : v4l
    name : DVB Board
    flags: overlay capture tuner

When xawtv is started from console, it only shows a black screen, gives 
the same error message as above, and on every channel switch it gives an 
error like:
ioctl: VIDIOCSFREQ(long=884): Das Argument ist ungültig

Because I have no experience with xawtv, it is possible that I made 
something wrong with it. Do you have another idea how to test whether 
DVB card and driver are working?

During active xawtv, lsmod says:
dvb-ttpci             300436   1

grundig_29504-491 grundig_29504-401 alps_tdlb7 alps_tdmb7 alps_bsrv2]

I am wondering about the "(unused)" entries. I thought, stv0299 would be 
the right module for my DVB card.

I have spent many many hours in testing but don't yet have any 
confirmation that DVB card and driver are working together.
Have I missed something?
How can I give options to the driver? Which options? I am no programmer 
and don't know how to do it.
A small problem still is that all modules are not loaded after restart 
of the computer. Which entries are needed for /etc/modules.conf?

Thanks for any tip

Walter
