Hi Peter,
I'm not quite sure I follow you. I have portage extract the kernel sources into /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r10 (and the symlink /usr/src/linux)?

Im using a stock 2.6.7 kernel from www.kernel.org (my distro was mandrake before I started breaking it) So I'm not sure how gentoo differs.


Can you detail the commands you run?
Sure I just posted. But feel free to ask more questions, I'll help the best I can.

Additionally, what modprobe commands do you run? Do you pass any parameters to the "modprobe bttv" line? I have seen these lines in the gentoo forums:
My understanding of the kraxel patch is that it elimates the need to pass in params to bttv.

So I ran.
modprobe bttv
modprobe bt878
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
modprobe mt352

modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68
modprobe bt878
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
modprobe mt352
Is that correct?
Many thanks,
Ben

Hmm.

I had a similar problem with the kernel config recently. The way i fixed it was by untaring the kernel srcs to an empty dir and re running makelinks. I've done this today with cvs snapshot of dvb-kernel, 2.6.7 linux sources and the patch-2.6.7-kraxel.


On a side note.
To get my Avermedia 771 card to tune I had to comment out line 420 of mt352.c (rev 1.7 in cvs).

Can I just confirm the kernel config? I am under the impression I need to add:

Now, do I need the <M> BT848 Video For Linux ? This ONLY appears after I have selected <M> Siemens-Nixdorf 'Multimedia eXtension Board', which doesn’t seem right.
If I don’t select either of these video adaptors, the kernel builds OK. If they are selected, I get the following error:
CC [M] drivers/media/video/tea6415c.o
CC [M] drivers/media/video/tea6420.o
CC [M] drivers/media/video/mxb.o
drivers/media/video/mxb.c: In function `mxb_probe':

make[3]: *** [drivers/media/video/mxb.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/media/video] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/media] Error 2

If I don’t include the "BT848 Video For Linux" driver, I don’t get the option of adding the Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/Twinhan PCI cards in the DVB section. Something doesn't feel right...
Thanks for the help,
Ben

Hi Ben.

I do it exactly as you wrote. But i used the latest dvb-kernel cvs-sources.
Maybe this is why you cant find the mt352-module?

Look here:
http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/fro
ntends/mt352.c?rev=1.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Hope that helps a bit.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Can you explain what the order of patching was? I am presuming you went:

1. Unpack 2.6.7 kernel
2. Download and apply dvb-kernel makelinks script (is this correct? What version of dvb-kernel?) 3. Apply the bytesex patch 4. Configure and build kernel

I am assuming step 2 - I ran 1 then 3 and realised that there was no "Zarlink MT352 based" option in the Digital Video Broadcasting Devices section of the kernel?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi All...

I managed it to work partially. Now i can tune and everything works fine...
I used the patch on a 2.6.7 gentoo kernel:

http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.7-1/

applied the patch-2.6.7-kraxel.gz - Archive to that Kernel. Now bttv realize that right card. Tuning works nice except one small thing:
I can tune any frequencies, except 177500000(VHF) and 191500000(VHF). If i try i get following:

***
using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
tuning to 191500000 Hz
video pid 0x00c9, audio pid 0x00ca

|
***

The frequencies 506000000 and above all working fine. The card should also able to tune on the VeryHiFrequencies (VHF) it looks to me that only the UHV-Band is used in the driver.

Any idea!? I dunno if its right in the linuxtv-mailinglist, i could imagine that this is some bug elsewhere!? Im not sure...

Thanks alot for any help.
Time to bed now, since i fizzle around with that the whole night... =)

Regards,
Andreas

Hello List.

Hours ago i also bought such AverMedia 771 and try to get it to work with my gentoo Box. Im using a 2.6.6 Kernel. This is my second card in this pc. I have a technotrend up and running and want to give a dual-dvb a try. It seems that i cant load the mt352 module.

This is a part of dmesg after loading the relevant modules:

****

***

I miss the line
bttv0: i2c: checking for MT352 @ ... or am i wrong here?

I get an error while im loading the mt352 module. But i cant find it in dmesg anymore... ;( I repost once i find it.

The patch that is applied in this thread wont work for me, maybe its already in cvs since im using the today's grab from it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for help,
Andreas

Hi There,

I'm new to the list, but, having read through the list and searched the gentoo forums, am unable to get my Avermedia 771 card working on my gentoo box.

I have a gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.5r1 kernel running.


I'm using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7


Grabbed a CVS snapshot of the linuxtv-dvb dated 2004-06-21


I have 2004-06-18 I guess. This version needs a patch I send to this list but I don't know if it's in cvs or not. I attached it to this mail, it should fix tuning problems (at least it does for me).
