Hi all, Recently I bought such a card and tried to use its analog inputs (composite, S-video and component) under Linux, but currently its analog inputs are not supported in the lastest stable kernel. So I searched the web and found a patch that made analog TV and composite input work: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/65382/ I tested S-video input and component input, but seems like we used wrong VINs. Therefore I referred its inf file of Windows driver and fixed input definitions as in the following patch: diff -Naur linux-2.6.36.1/drivers/media/ video/cx23885/cx23885-cards.c linux-2.6.36.1-ref/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-cards.c --- linux-2.6.36.1/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-cards.c 2010-11-23 03:03:49.000000000 +0800 +++ linux-2.6.36.1-ref/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-cards.c 2010-12-01 22:38:39.731040501 +0800 @@ -172,7 +172,33 @@ }, [CX23885_BOARD_COMPRO_VIDEOMATE_E650F] = { .name = "Compro VideoMate E650F", + .porta = CX23885_ANALOG_VIDEO, .portc = CX23885_MPEG_DVB, + .tuner_type = TUNER_XC2028, + .tuner_addr = 0x61, + .input = { + { + .type = CX23885_VMUX_TELEVISION, + .vmux = CX25840_COMPOSITE2, + }, { + .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPOSITE1, + .vmux = CX25840_COMPOSITE1 + + }, { + .type = CX23885_VMUX_SVIDEO, + .vmux = CX25840_SVIDEO_LUMA4| + CX25840_SVIDEO_CHROMA7 + + }, { + .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPONENT, + .vmux = CX25840_COMPONENT_ON| + CX25840_VIN3_CH1 | + CX25840_VIN6_CH2 | + CX25840_VIN8_CH3 + + }, + }, + }, [CX23885_BOARD_TBS_6920] = { .name = "TurboSight TBS 6920", By applying this patch, now I can use all analog inputs. But unfortunately there are some glitches while using S-video and component input. I don't know how to describe the phenomenon because of my poor English, so I post some screenshots and hope them help you to understand. The following images are some screenshots of analog inputs: Composite input works well with the patch :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13723674/composite.png S-video input gives me video with blinking noise :( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13723674/s-video-blink.png Component input also gives me video with blinking noise :( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13723674/component-blink.png Any suggestion would be appreciated, and hope this patch helps someone. I wish to help development, though I don't have any experience in kernel module development. If there's anything I can help, feel free to mail me.
