This one is easy: [ 13.438412] bttv0: subsystem: 1830:1540 (UNKNOWN) As this PCI ID is not known, it is just a matter of associating the PV-183 ID's with card 98. > > I believe the text concerning 'detected: Provideo PV150A-1' should be > changed to 'detected: Provideo PV149 / PV981 / PV155' Seems ok to me for PV-981. > I've attached outputs from the bttv kernel logs for the PV-149 / PV-981 > / PV-183.

PV-155 shares the same PCI ID as PV-149, but require a different entry, then we shouldn't add it to the PV-150 autodetection code. The better would be to check with the manufacturer if is there a way to detect between those two boards (maybe reading eeprom?). > > PV-183-8: 8 port, 8 BT878a chips - card=98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98 > PV-183-16: 16 port, 8 BT878a chips - card=98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98 > (Shares the same board and PCI ID / subsystem as the PV-183-8) > > PV-981-4: 4 port, 4 BT878a chips - no modprobe setting required > PV-981-8: 8 port, 4 BT878a chips - no modprobe setting required (Shares > the same board as the PV-981-4) > PV-981-16: 16 port, 4 BT878a chips - card=98,98,98,98,98,98,98,98 > (Shares the same board and PCI ID / subsystem as the PV-981-4) Why do you need the card= parameter, if it shares the same subsystem ID as the other PV-981 models? > > > Thanks! > > -- > Curtis Hall (curt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > Bluecherry - www.bluecherry.net > (877) 418-3391 x 201 > -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
