Hi, I just got this card after reading reports it was supported in Linux but I'm having trouble getting it to work. The card is identified with lspci as : 02:0e.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) I'm using the 2.6.13.4 kernel with basicly the slackware 2.6.13 generic config file. I have modprobed every module I found mentionend on the internet but still get this when I run scan -c : using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' main:1882: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 19 No such device the devices in dev dvb exist (used the script that comes with the kernel drivers) ls -ls /dev/dvb/adapter0 total 0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Oct 15 17:30 audio0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 6 Oct 15 17:30 ca0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 4 Oct 15 17:30 demux0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 5 Oct 15 17:30 dvr0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Oct 15 17:30 frontend0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 Oct 15 17:30 net0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 8 Oct 15 17:30 osd0 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Oct 15 17:30 video0 all the modprobing hes lead me to this lsmod situation : lsmod Module Size Used by saa7134_dvb 7044 0 saa7134 105556 1 saa7134_dvb video_buf_dvb 4484 1 saa7134_dvb dvb_bt8xx 9988 0 nxt6000 6788 1 dvb_bt8xx mt352 6148 2 saa7134_dvb,dvb_bt8xx sp887x 7172 1 dvb_bt8xx dst_ca 13184 1 dvb_bt8xx dst 17924 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst_ca bt878 8248 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst cx24110 7044 1 dvb_bt8xx or51211 9348 1 dvb_bt8xx budget_ci 10496 0 budget_av 12800 0 tda10021 5764 1 budget_av tda1004x 13316 3 saa7134_dvb,budget_ci,budget_av budget 9088 0 s5h1420 8324 1 budget budget_core 6788 3 budget_ci,budget_av,budget dvb_ttpci 86332 0 dvb_core 71848 8 video_buf_dvb,dvb_bt8xx,dst_ca,budget_ci,budget_av,budget,budget_core,dvb_ttpci l64781 6660 2 budget,dvb_ttpci saa7146_vv 42880 2 budget_av,dvb_ttpci saa7146 14600 6 budget_ci,budget_av,budget,budget_core,dvb_ttpci,saa7146_vv ves1820 5252 2 budget,dvb_ttpci stv0299 10248 4 budget_ci,budget_av,budget,dvb_ttpci tda8083 5252 2 budget,dvb_ttpci stv0297 7424 1 dvb_ttpci sp8870 6796 1 dvb_ttpci ves1x93 6148 2 budget,dvb_ttpci ttpci_eeprom 2304 2 budget_core,dvb_ttpci usb_storage 68416 0 cx8800 26124 0 cx88xx 51744 1 cx8800 ir_common 7044 2 saa7134,cx88xx v4l1_compat 13188 3 saa7134,saa7146_vv,cx8800 bttv 149648 2 dvb_bt8xx,bt878 video_buf 17156 7 saa7134_dvb,saa7134,video_buf_dvb,saa7146_vv,cx8800,cx88xx,bttv i2c_algo_bit 8712 2 cx88xx,bttv v4l2_common 4864 4 saa7134,saa7146_vv,cx8800,bttv btcx_risc 3976 3 cx8800,cx88xx,bttv tveeprom 10512 2 cx88xx,bttv videodev 7168 5 saa7134,saa7146_vv,cx8800,cx88xx,bttv lirc_i2c 8196 0 i2c_core 16656 30 saa7134_dvb,saa7134,dvb_bt8xx,nxt6000,mt352,sp887x,dst,cx24110,or51211,budget_ci,budget_av,tda10021,tda1004x,budget,s5h1420,budget_core,dvb_ttpci,l64781,ves1820,stv0299,tda8083,stv0297,sp8870,ves1x93,ttpci_eeprom,cx88xx,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom,lirc_i2c lirc_dev 12516 1 lirc_i2c snd_pcm_oss 45856 0 snd_mixer_oss 15744 1 snd_pcm_oss nfsd 210656 8 ipv6 225600 12 nfs 193224 2 lockd 57608 3 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 125380 4 nfsd,nfs,lockd uhci_hcd 29584 0 ati_agp 6668 1 shpchp 91364 0 evdev 7296 0 ohci_hcd 18436 0 ehci_hcd 29704 0 snd_atiixp 15968 0 snd_ac97_codec 75772 1 snd_atiixp snd_pcm 74888 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 19588 1 snd_pcm snd 42980 6 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6880 2 saa7134,snd snd_page_alloc 8200 2 snd_atiixp,snd_pcm 3c59x 37416 0 mii 4608 1 3c59x pcmcia 30368 0 firmware_class 7424 11 saa7134_dvb,dvb_bt8xx,sp887x,or51211,budget_ci,budget_av,tda1004x,dvb_ttpci,sp8870,bttv,pcmcia yenta_socket 21516 0 rsrc_nonstatic 11136 1 yenta_socket pcmcia_core 34320 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic agpgart 28616 1 ati_agp psmouse 29956 0 xfs 540952 1 exportfs 4608 2 nfsd,xfs ntfs 182672 0 dm_mod 49596 0 Still I don't see anything in dmesg about the card being detected. modprobes only produce messages like : saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded Anyone with the card running who can tell me what to try next?
