Hello,

I have a problem with module cx23885, it doesn't create the /dev/video0 device.

My config:

Leadtek PxDVR 3200 H Analog/DVB card
Linux - Fedora 10 (2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64)
V4L/DVB repository from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb as the TV card is not supported by the distro kernel drivers.
I have an analog signal (DVB in 2010).

I compiled the v4l/dvb kernel modules against kernel headers and installed. Then I depmod'ed new modules, removed all old v4l modules (rmmod) and inserted new ones (modprobe). The card was detected, but there is no /dev/video0 device, only /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0,dvr0,frontend0,net0.

So I cannot run tvtime or any other tv application which tries to open /dev/video0. (opening /dev/dvd/adapter0/"whatever" doesn't help).

How can I make it creating /dev/video0 device?

Regards, Martin

Here is my dmesg debug output from cx23885

Hello,
I have a problem with module cx23885, it doesn't create the /dev/video0 device.

The module doesn't support analogue yet.

Hmmm, that's not a good new. Is there a plan to add analogue support? When?

Is there a possibility someone will take care of analogue support on WinFast PxDVR 3200 H? If yes, I can test it, send debug outputs, be a beta tester, just say.
I can even help with development, I have a litle bit experience with kernel module programming. So if someone gives me a clue I can do little modifications myself (changing some values to see which one is the right one, ... maybe more).

Regards,
Martin
