Hi, I've just bought one of these cards which is based on the Conexant Fusion 878A chip thinking it would just work under Linux being bttv-based. Unfortunately (for me) it's not and it is just picked up as a generic unknown card by the bttv driver. Does anyone have one of these that is working, or have any pointers to what I can try to make it work? I've had a go manually specifying card= as a module option for a couple of the existing cards that also use the Conexant Fusion chip but neither work (BTTV_BOARD_PICOLO_TETRA_CHIP and BTTV_BOARD_GEOVISION_GV800S). When I start up xawtv and switch to framegrabber mode I just get lots of errors in /var/log/messages saying: Jan 20 21:09:13 quad kernel: [ 2732.616016] bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=2998/35891, risc=339d5000, bits: HSYNC Jan 20 21:09:13 quad kernel: [ 2733.122014] bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=3028/35952, risc=339d5000, bits: HSYNC Jan 20 21:09:14 quad kernel: [ 2733.625018] bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=3058/36015, risc=339d5000, bits: HSYNC Jan 20 21:09:14 quad kernel: [ 2734.127014] bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=3088/36077, risc=339d5000, bits: HSYNC Jan 20 21:09:15 quad kernel: [ 2734.628014] bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=3118/36140, risc=339d5000, bits: HSYNC Any help appreciated. More info about the card below. Thanks, Rob.
