Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2007-01-15 17:57 0000

Please, apply the attached patch to the kernel, at least to gentoo-sources.

The file /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.c needs to be
patched to get the combined S-Video/Composite input of the Terratec Cinergy
1400 DVB-T working.

The patch I've made is for gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4.

It would be nice if this would also go into the other kernel sources.

Btw, ".vmux = 2" is in both cases correct because this DVB-T card has only one
input which is a combined S-Video/Composite input. How the input source has to
be interpreted has to be set by the parameters/options of the capturing
software like tvtime or mplayer.

The picture quality for me is not the best but I don't know if and I don't
think that this is kernel related. But maybe someone can have a look at this,
too, if this can be tuned in the kernel.

I don't know the functions of the gpio values in some of the other card
descriptions in this file. So I don't know if it's necessary to set such a gpio
value and to which value it has to be set to. But I'm getting a picture without
it.

This needs to be submitted upstream, not to Gentoo...

Over a year ago I've found a similar patch for an older kernel version
somewhere in a forum in the internet. I don't know where anymore.

Because I haven't saved the patch and need this function again I just rewrote
it from what I remembered. So principally I am the author of this patch but it
depends on another possibly slightly different patch.

A slightly modified patch as asked by upstream's documentation for submitting
patches.

You could use v4l-dvb-hg until patch makes it into an official kernel-version.

If you mean me, I know. Because I have written this patch it's already in my
kernel. ;-)

For any other people of course you are right.
