Hi all, I'm the new kid on the block. A few days ago I have bought a KNC because it was stated that there is linux support for it out there. Unfortunately, I now know that this is not quite true. But with the 2.6.16-rc5 kernel (sourcemage 0.9.5) my computer recognizes the card: Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'. Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11 Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f8860000 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x1894,0x0014).

So *something* is working but I am not yet there. Anyone who can help me on? Cheers, and thanks a lot Edi _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
