New Card - BT878

New Card - BT878

[Chris S. Wilson]

Hello Everyone, I got a new BT878 card instead of my ATI, I cant seem to get
it to work:

 

LSPCI shows me:

Then I modprobe bttv, and lsmod:

 

[root@server-1 ~]# lsmod |grep bttv

bttv                  150868  1 bt878

videodev               32000  3 bttv,ivtv,cx88xx

ir_common              38532  2 bttv,cx88xx

compat_ioctl32          5120  2 bttv,ivtv

i2c_algo_bit            8836  3 bttv,ivtv,cx88xx

v4l2_common            12800  3 bttv,ivtv,cx2341x

videobuf_dma_sg        13828  2 bttv,cx88xx

videobuf_core          18052  3 bttv,cx88xx,videobuf_dma_sg

btcx_risc               7560  2 bttv,cx88xx

tveeprom               14596  3 bttv,ivtv,cx88xx

i2c_core               21396  8
bttv,ivtv,cx88xx,i2c_algo_bit,v4l2_common,tveeprom,nvidia,i2c_nforce2

[root@server-1 ~]#

 

 

I get no /dev/video0 like I did with this card on my centos 5.1 box, I am
running Fedora Core 10 on this machine with kernel 2.6.27, any ideas anyone?
I tried a ./MAKEDEV video0 however this did not fix the issue.

 

I've browsed around the wiki, read the docs, but cant seem to find any
answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Chris W

Chris, what output do you get for: lspci -s 01:05.0 -vnn

Hi Chris,

Please don't drop the mailing lists from the discussion (use your email
client's "reply all" feature) ... I have cc'ed the Linux-media list back
in. Also, in future, please don't top post.

Regarding this card, the absence of a device subsystem ID in your output
for the above command leads me to think that your card likely lacks an
EEPROM. Do you know the name of the device or is it just a generic bttv
card? (i was hoping we could have ascertained its identity from the
above command, but obviously no luck on that route).

Given that you've been able to run it under Linux before (as per your
above and previous message's statements), that is certainly encouraging.
Can you please provide the output from dmesg.
