Hi everybody! I have a Medion Laptop with a LifeView FlyDVB-T DUO board in it. Medion put out a firmware update for the card to make it work with the newest driver from LifeView under Windows. I did install that firmware update and am now wondering if that might be the reason why I can't get the DVB part working under Linux!?!? tvtime shows the analog television okay (albeit without sound but that might be a configuration problem). My system is a Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.14. I downloaded v4l-kernel, dvb-kernel and dvb-apps from CVS very early (1am CET) on November 25th and build all modules "out of tree", deleted all modules that were originally installed with the kernel and replaced them with the newly built ones. Compile, replace and depmod went flawlessly. Now when I do modprobe saa7134 card=55 and modprobe saa7134-dvb everything seems to load okay but running i.e. dvbscan does not work at all. I put together what dmesg shows after the various commands (see below). I also tried to specify the tuner with "modprobe saa7134 card=55 tuner=<nr>" and went through all other 65 tuners as well. One example of the dmesg output for tuner=63 is shown below, because for all other tuners than 54 (which is presumably the one actually present on the board) the driver found the firmware revision okay and reported revision 23 when running dvbscan whereas for tuner 54 an invalid revision ff was reported. If anybody can point me in some direction what I can do to make the card work or what addtional information to provide to enable someone to figure out what is going on, please speak up! :-) Regards, Frank P.S. Thanks for all the good work you put into video4linux!!! >>>> modprobe saa7134 card=55 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: found at 0000:06:03.0, rev: 208, irq: 11, latency: 181, mmio: 0xb4007800 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: subsystem: 5168:0307, board: LifeView FlyDVB-T DUO [card=55,insmod option] Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 10000 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 68 51 07 03 54 20 1c 00 43 43 a9 1c 55 d2 b2 92 Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 10: 00 00 62 08 ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 03 03 01 01 03 08 ff 01 e7 ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff 24 00 c2 96 10 05 01 01 16 22 15 ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff Nov 28 16:02:30 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0x10 [???] Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0x96 [???] Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xa0 [eeprom] Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: tuner 1-004b: chip found @ 0x96 (saa7133[0]) Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: tuner i2c attach [addr=0x4b,client=(tuner unset)] Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: tuner 1-004b: setting tuner address to 61 Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: tuner 1-004b: tuner: type set to tda8290+75 Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0 >>>> modprobe saa7134-dvb Nov 28 16:02:31 coconut kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0]).
