ATI HDTV Card

[FC4ris]

I just installed an ATI HDTV card into my system (specs below).
I have been following this guide: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php...g_the_Software

And I have gotten all the way down to the line for loading the drivers into the kernel. The code is:

 [root@localhost firmware]# modprobe cx88-dvb
FATAL: Error inserting cx88-dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.24.3-34.fc8/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko): No such device

thats bad.

Then I ran the next step to see how it looked and it seems okay but I can't get any TV programs to work.

  dmesg gives me: ....

I have moderate linux experience but I am not too sure what to do. Thanks in advance.

For a little more clarification I'm trying to use the linux dvb drivers and my card is listed as one that should work. I'm trying use mythTV, TVtime, XawTV, and kaffine ..... and none of them detect a card. I've only tested with the digital HD connector in the back of the device.

I don't see an ATI HDTV card listed in the specs for either of your machines. I do see an nvidia chipset listed for the first (desktop?) machine. If that's the one which also has the ATI HDTV card, could this be the cause of the conflict? I.E., maybe the BIOS/system doesn't see/recognize the extra card/chipset?

BTW, the very first error message indicates that the device, not the driver, was not found. Often, Linux will joyfully carry out any command that it can, whether or not it's a "Good Idea™©®". That is, I can load whatever driver kernel modules that I want, whether or not the hardware actually exists. In this case, the kernel module is stubbornly refusing to load because the device was not found. Or so it seems to me.

The ATI HDTV is on the desktop system you are correct. I just installed it so I haven't put it in the specs. It could be that the bios doesn't recognize it. I've been googling the hell out of this one and I'm fresh out of ideas.

[Hlingler]

Check for a BIOS update maybe? Or at least give a thorough look through the BIOS settings if you haven't already.

I'm not very familiar with this equipment - just pointed out some observations. Some kind of hardware conflict is possible somewhere. Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg (again) for clues. Also maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But unless mis-configured, it's unlikely that Fedora is at fault: the driver kernel module clearly exists, so I would think it must be there for a reason....

Free bump at least.

I don't know if this helps, but I've read that despite what the packaging says, the QAM channels only work under Vista for the new HD TV Wonder card, so maybe there is some sort of hardware enforcement that could be causing the problem. That being said, you'd think you be able to get analog working.
