Yippie!! It works! Well, kind of. =P I have a picture which has a little bit of static. And there is no sound... Maybe it's muted? Is that possible? (One of those stupid things I never think of at the time, and spend hours trying to figure out why the sound isnt working.) I'm going to fiddle around with the cords, maybe that will help with the picture. I've noticed a few things: - When setting the geometry size, the setchannel prog doesn't accept the height value. I'm guessing you hardcoded the number in there somewhere. Because of this, when I try and set the geometry like this: # pvr250-setchannel -g 720x480 # pvr250-setchannel -g 480x480 then I cat /dev/cxm0, I get errors in /var/log/messages like this: Apr 13 15:26:13 unf kernel: <3>cxm 0-0000: 720x576 is not a valid size! Apr 13 15:26:45 unf kernel: <3>cxm 0-0000: 480x576 is not a valid size! - I think this is related to the comment above (having a hardcorded height). When I cat from /dev/cxm1 (and only unit #1.. odd), there is a bar of rectangular colors at the bottom of the video, about.. 200 pixels high. - Here is the output of the new driver: Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: cxm0: mem 0xe0000000-0xe3ffffff irq 17 at device 8.0 on pci2 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: cxm_iic0: on cxm0 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: iicbb0: on cxm_iic0 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: iicbus0: on iicbb0 master-only Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: Second (radio) tuner idx 101 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: ivtv version Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 23552, rev = D492, serial# = 8024262 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: tuner = Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx = 92, type = 57) Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000) Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: audio processor = CX25843 (type = 25) Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: <2>tveeprom: decoder processor = CX25843 (type = 1e) Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: tuner type: 57 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: cxm0: Eeprom NTSC Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: tuner: type set to 57 (Philips FQ1236A MK4) by cxm Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: tuner: switching to v4l2 Apr 13 15:17:22 unf kernel: before tuner_command!

It's sure annoying that it locks up the computer for a good minute (with the two tuners). I guess it wont matter much when I'm not unloading and loading them. Sean
