The only reason why I'm attempting to use a newer saa7164 driver is because the driver in my ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-30, x86 32bit) doesn't recognise the 8940 edition of my HVR-2200 (and doesn't support the "card=9" option that I believe is specifically for the 8940 edition). Example dmesg output: $ dmesg | grep saa7 [ 18.367431] saa7164 driver loaded [ 18.367467] saa7164 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 18.367472] saa7164[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver. [ 18.367473] saa7164[0]: Try to pick one of the existing card configs via [ 18.367474] saa7164[0]: card=<n> insmod option. Updating to the latest [ 18.367475] saa7164[0]: version might help as well. [ 18.367684] saa7164[0]: Here are valid choices for the card=<n> insmod option: [ 18.367739] saa7164[0]: card=0 -> Unknown [ 18.367789] saa7164[0]: card=1 -> Generic Rev2 [ 18.367840] saa7164[0]: card=2 -> Generic Rev3 [ 18.367891] saa7164[0]: card=3 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 [ 18.367943] saa7164[0]: card=4 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 18.367995] saa7164[0]: card=5 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 18.368059] saa7164[0]: card=6 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2200 [ 18.368112] saa7164[0]: card=7 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 [ 18.368164] saa7164[0]: card=8 -> Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 [ 18.369142] CORE saa7164[0]: subsystem: 0070:8940, board: Unknown [card=0,autodetected] [ 18.369147] saa7164[0]/0: found at 0000:02:00.0, rev: 129, irq: 16, latency: 0, mmio: 0xfd400000 [ 18.369152] saa7164 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 18.369162] saa7164_initdev() Unsupported board detected, registering without firmware To get this 8940 card working with my ubuntu 10.10 system, what would you recommend I try ? Should I be trying to extract the new driver from what the above git and makes, ie just copy into place the new saa7164.ko file ? Or should my existing driver work if i use the card=4 option ?
