I'm amazed it ever worked at all with such incomplete support. Fundamental portions of the cx88 driver need to be redone, and for your card, that will mean going back to Windows to see what the vendor's driver is doing with GPIO in response to different inputs, as well as some experimentation. If you're up for things like that, you can start by: 1) Gathering GPIO register values in Windows with RegSpy from dscaler.org, recording what they are with each card input selected (DVB, analog TV, composite, S-video, FM radio, SCART, etc.), as well as the values after closing all apps related to the card, so that the card is idle. 2) Applying this patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.video4linux/38536 Note that with the card definition as it currently is, this patch will make the card stop working altogether. You will need to redo the card definition to include all the info gathered in #1 above. 3) Reporting your findings from #1 and #2 above. I will be submitting a patch to the tuner-core that will pave the way for some real fixing of cx88, and info on as many cx88 cards as possible will be a plus during that fixing. 4) Testing future cutting-edge patches to see how they affect the use of the card, before those patches make it into the tree. Have fun! _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
