HVR-1800 Support
i'm using ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27-9-generic
and tried compiling latest modules with hg-clone but my analog capture got broken, firmware error... so i got back to original kernel modules
however, some people claim they get audio with analog on /dev/video1
this has never be my case, im using svideo signal so wondering if that may be it.
i get analog video on video0 and video1, but some colors look pretty weird, red for example.
another thing this card has fm radio, anyone knows how to set it up? i've been unable to find any info regarding this

I never got Svideo in working on my 1800. I ended up selling it and getting a 1600.

The driver in the kernel and hg does not set up the registers properly for the video or audio in S-Video mode. I made some changes to get mine working. I can probably make a patch for you if you can get your source build working.
You might be able to get everything working using the cx25840ctl utility from the ivtv-utils package. With cx25840ctl you'll need to make sure the i2c-dev module is loaded, and figure out which i2c device is the cx25840 interface. "cx25840ctl -l 3" will show the registers from i2c device 3. "-s 3" sets the registers on i2c device 3. You'll probably need to set the registers after you have the device open to get the audio working, otherwise the driver will reset some of them. I haven't tested this since I put the settings in my driver. (I still need to use part of this script to fix the brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue though.)

modprobe i2c-dev

I didn't notice any code for radio support while I was debugging the driver.

Why not sign it off and send it in to the list, to be merged into the official sources?
Surely if there is a bug or missing feature that you've fixed, it should be merged into the repository so that everybody else can benefit from it.

Right now it's kind of a dirty hack just for my card. I'm stepping on code shared with other cx23885/cx25840 cards and potentially breaking them without any way to check. It needs a few more changes anyway, but the breaking would still be a problem. I can either hope for the best, or add extra variables and conditions just for this card and make a little mess.
