I would however encourage you to use the main repo at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb or this one which has a patch to improve reliability for some older systems: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx18-mmio-fixes > I can't seem to get the HVR-1600 working on my system and I've tried > awalls' revisions.

Does the following command show a cx18.ko module installed? $ find /lib/modules -name cx18.ko -print 2. Does this command: $ /sbin/lspci -vv show a "Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23418 Single-Chip MPEG-2 Encoder with Integrated Analog Video/Broadcast Audio Decoder Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. Unknown device 7444" ? 3. Have you installed the firmware from this archive: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz into the proper directory (e.g. /lib/firmware) for your distribution? 4. When you perform these commands as root: # modprobe -r cx18 # modprobe cx18 debug=3 does modporbe emit any errors and what does 'dmesg' or /var/log/messages show? (Please don't grep on cx18, as not all relevant messages will have cx18 in them.) 5. When the module is loaded, it should always blurt out at least "cx18: Start initialization, version 1.0.0" in dmesg and messages, unless the kernel couldn't load the module. If the kernel couldn't load the module, it should log an error message: what is that message? > Also, I get the errors when running make unload: > loudestnoise@loudestnoise-desktop:~/v4l-dvb-fc3285e4b3fa$ sudo make > unload I wouldn't worry about those. I get them too. As long as lsmod shows the modules have been unloaded, you're fine. Regards, Andy > - David C.
