Hi,
I just noticed on the mailing list archives people having the same
probing problems I'm having, I thought I'd supply some more data points.
I have two identical (as far as I know) Compro VideoMate 3000s. I use
them in both analog and digital mode in MythTV.
1) They worked fine in 2.6.14, using v4l-dvb-20051208.tar.gz, no
problems after hard or soft reboots that I ever noticed.
2) In 2.6.16, using the built in modules, they autoprobe correctly on
hard reboots.
3) On soft reboots they sometimes still probe correctly. Or sometimes
one out of two does.
4) After a hard reboot and a correct autoprobe, although they appear to
be functioning correctly, analog TV tuning does not work. In both xawtv
and mythtv, the symptoms are a black and white static accompanied by
static noise, exactly as if the aerial was unplugged.
5) After unloading the module with rmmod (and also saa7134-dvb and
saa7134-oss) and reloading by hand with modprobe, both analog and
digital work fine.
I hope these data points are somehow useful to you. To me they are plain
confusing :-)
Interesting...
I think the cause for your different observation lies in the module load
order / configuration. Please check:
- Does your configuration set the card type manually (card=70 insmod option)?
- Does your configuration load the tuner manually?
There is the old problem that the tuner module MUST find the tuner during
its initialization, but its not visible until the driver switches the
bridge transparent. This makes the module load order important.
If you have some instruction that loads the tuner module, please remove it,
the saa7134 module will request it.
Best regards
Hartmut
