Are you sure the tuner = 50? Because the last time I checked the card the
only way to get the tuner working was hardcoding 56 in the module source.
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

no im not sure :-)
i gues it should be 56 as you said, i read here about harcoding this
stuff in cx88-core.c and cx88-i2c.c but i've no idea how to do this
under ubuntu edgy, i tought edgy has this fix :-(

ok, if i hardcode this vaule in the source files, what comes next?
Kernel recompile? modules compile?

thanks for your help

regards
tom

Modules compile, if it is the same kernel. The thing I did was just
check out the hg sources of V4L and compiled them a few times. Gives you
the latest development and no kernel pain ;)

core->tuner_type = 56; (line: 1156 of core)
tun_setup.type = 56; (line: 132 of i2c)

The only 'issue' I had was the tuner starts with NTSC instead of PAL-BG.
But that is easy solvable, isn't it?

Yes, but is is easyer now as I just mailed, that is the only thing
you need to do.
Stefan

ok, so i've get the newest modules or are they in edgy new enough?

hmm i'm a v4l newbie so im not sure howe easy it is to change from ntsc
to pal, maybee with v4lctl setnorm?

many thanks for you're help

ok found these 2 lines in my sources

cx88-core.ccore->tuner_type = is on line 1107

and

cx88-i2c.ctun setup_type = on line 115

changed them to value 56

now, sorry stupid question how can i compile modules only without kernel
recompile?

and, is there any need for special tweaking in my /etc/modprobe.d/ after
hardcoding these values?

ok, i've downloaded the following package
v4l-dvb-f48b072c5676.tar.bz2

followed the instructions on the website:
How to build the v4l-dvb kernel modules

now my log looks like this in the attachement cx88xx.txt
made with dmesg | grep -iE "cx|tv|tun" cx88xx.txt

Hi Stefan,

let me say thank you for your help

i downloaded v4l-dvb-5375ca4bb13b and made a make and sudo make install

in /etc/modules
tda9887
cx88xx

in /etc/modprobe.d/tvtuner
# i2c
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
# card
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 cx8800

i attached a message.txt where you see my /var/log/message output

and a hw.txt where the output of scantv -hwscan is

aber a reboot i started zapping and tried to scan and ups what's this it
works :-)

so where should i report this and which file / output should i provide
that support for this card comes out of the box :-)

many thansk and best regards
tom

Hi,

that it works now is no wonder.

There were two new tuners found initially on the G so far.
The TCL 2002MI 3 was added in this round.
;node=8b01ccd1620e;style=gitweb

The idx 113 Hans added in June this year.
;style=gitweb

Report only tuners still not detected with current v4l-dvb mercurial.

Cheers,
Hermann
