Curt's latest message in the thread. Curt, let's keep this on the v4l-dvb mailing list, that's where all the action is. :-)

v4l-dvb members: I think I got the order of the messages right. My apologies for so many posts in such a short time; I didn't want to leave anything out that might be important. My next reply will follow.

I've got the new computer built, with the 2.6.26.5 kernel, v4l not gen'd in and using the latest from the repository.

Using Kradio I still can only listen to it via the Line Out on the 120's board.

When I run kaffeine I get a pop up window with this:

No plugin found to handle this resource (/dev/video)

17:59:33: xine: couldn't find demux for >file:///dev/video<

17:59:33: xine: found input plugin : file input plugin

When I run xawtv I get this:

# xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.26.5-touch)
xinerama 0: 1024x768+0+0

ioctl: VIDIOC_REQBUFS(count=2;type=VIDEO_CAPTURE;memory=MMAP): Success
ioctl: VIDIOC_REQBUFS(count=2;type=VIDEO_CAPTURE;memory=MMAP): Resource

And I still get the "Unable to grab video." pop up form kdetv.

Ideas? Am I missing something?

I blacklisted cx8800, cx8802, cx88-alsa, & cx88-dvb on boot, then moved the blacklist file then only modprobed cx8800. That and cx88xx are the only ones loaded.

I have this in my modprobe.d/tv file:

alias char-major-81 videodev
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

Quoted 7 lines

alias char-major-81-0 cx8800
alias char-major-81-1 off
alias char-major-81-2 off
alias char-major-81-3 off

Thanks.

Something odd is happening then - there should be a fair number of other modules that got brought in with cx8800, like tuner_xc2028, tuner, v4l2_common, videodev, and others.

Can you copy&paste dmesg and lsmod outputs as they look after a fresh reboot and having loaded the modules?

I also have a feeling I'm wrong about cx88-alsa not being needed...

V4l team:  Is or is not cx88-alsa still part of the usual modules that must

be

Quoted 6 lines

loaded (either manually or automatically)?  If it is, did something merely break recently that made it disappear from the output of the build?

/me is confused.

Um, sorry, there are a bunch of other modules loaded too. I was just referring to the Conexant related modules.

Below is the info requested, but it doesn't look like hte dmesg output is of much help.

Oh and I noticed here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCI_Cards
that the 120 card isn't listed, it would be easier to find I think if it was. oh and you asked the v4l team but it looks like this message cam only to me?? (I cc'd my reply.)
