Hi, I have a Videomate DVB-T 300 card and use Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.6.13.
The card works fine in Windoze (dual-booting) but i would like to get it
going in linux. This should be possible as others on this mailing list seem
to have done so.
After reading a lot of docs and installing various things most things seem
to be in place but still no joy.
Here are some readouts: lsmod

01:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7134 Video
Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
In /lib/firmware there is: dvb-fe-tda10046.fw and dvb-ttpci-01.fw-261f
and tda10046.bin
In /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware there is the same 3 firmware files.
I hacked the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules script to get the modules to load on boot
as is shown by the lsmod readout.
In /sys/class/firmware there is just the timeout file.
I would like to use kaffeine-0.7.1 to watch tv as this has a DVB facility
and i am having troubles with mysql that makes mythtv a challenge at this
time.
kaffeine does not recognize the DVB-T300.
When i do "modprobe saa7134 oss=1"
- do "modprobe saa7134-dvb"
as suggested by Hartmut Hackmann nothing happens.
Could anyone suggest where i am going wrong?
Thanks, Ian.
