The cx88 driver |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
Author: Gerd Hoffmann |
|
|
|
This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip. |
|
|
|
|
|
Current status |
|
-------------- |
|
|
|
video |
|
- Works. |
|
- Overlay isn't supported. |
|
|
|
audio |
|
- Works. The TV standard detection is made by the driver, as the |
|
hardware has bugs to auto-detect. |
|
- audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the |
|
sound card) is supported via cx88-alsa. |
|
|
|
vbi |
|
- Works. |
|

How to add support for new cards |
|
-------------------------------- |
|
|
|
The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in |
|
cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new |
|
entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg) |
|
to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line |
|
like this one: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none |
|
|
|
cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \ |
|
34xxx models [card=1,autodetected] |
|
|
|
If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to |
|
the driver. What to do then? |
|
|
|
1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added |
|
meanwhile. |
|
2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at |
|
cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified |
|
diff ("diff -u"). |
|
3) Or you can mail me the config information. We need at least the |
|
following information to add the card: |
|
|
|
- the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above, |
|
"lspci -v" output is fine too). |
|
- the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by |
|
trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you |
|
know which one the card has you can also have a look at the |
|
list in CARDLIST.tuner
