Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] ati hdtv wonder in gentoo amd64

["Brett Taylor" <sweet.brett@xxxxxxxxx>]

well last night I was successful in getting my card to work, and to get it to tune QAM channels.  I changed back to gentoo sources and upgraded them to 2.6.20-gentoo-r5 (i was on r3 before).  using the kernel modules I could not tune to any channels.  So, I emerged v4l-dvb-hg, which actually emerged this time.  Then CityK walked me through how to use hg and obtain the kernel-sync sources.  Once I had those modules compiled and installed, the card worked great.  I still have a few channels that won't get any sound (and I tried adding (ac3) to the kaffeine dvb list as was suggested earlier), but I do have a handful of channels that work great (QAM).

Thanks for all the help.

hi,

markus your way would not work on gentoo systems using emerge/portage
to compile sources.

it uses a sandbox. you cant just change the behaviour (ok, there is a way,
but not form "normal" users).

it checks outs sources from repositories, unpacks, configures... everything.

@brett
can try to check out the sources manually and compile them?

regards
marcel
