Hey,
I saw in the sources for lgdt330x.c that the signal strength always
returns 0 and that adding support for the signal strength is on the
TODO list. Can anyone give me a status on this? What would it take to
get this working? How can I help?
There has been some discussion about this on the ,
but we are at a stale-mate right now. I would not expect anybody to be
able to get proper signal strength readings until the userland frontend
libraries are ready, although Taylor Jacobs seems to think he has
already gotten it working. Mac Michaels is the author of the lgdt330x
module, and he said that Taylor's solution was incorrect. That was a
short summary. For details, search the message archives.
I have one of these cards and am having problems with video stuttering
and I’m trying to track down the problem – having a signal strength
would really help …
This has nothing to do with the driver or your signal strength. Your
video is stuttering because your CPU is not fast enough, or there is
some bottleneck somewhere. You might NOT be experiencing the same
problem in Windows, because you are probably using the hardware
acceleration of your video board to handle the MPEG decoding ...
Try testing again in mplayer, but pass the -framedrop option
Thats all I can tell you. Otherwise, upgrade your CPU. All I can say is
this, I have the same problem on my P4 2.53 GHz , 533FSB machine, but I
do NOT have the problem on my P4 3.06 GHz HT machine.
This is a well-known issue, and it is not a bug.
I hope this helps,
Michael Krufky
