Setting the tuner type of cx88xx Module in Kernel 2.6.26.2 does not work anymore

Setting the tuner type of cx88xx Module in Kernel 2.6.26.2 does not work anymore

[Marcel Tiede]

Hello,

till the last Kernel Upgrade of my distribution (Archlinux) I'm not able
to set the tuner type of my conexant card in order to view tv. The
setting is recognized by cx88xx module, but the tuner-simple seems to
overwrite this setting again.

Extract:

Because my card is not recognized correctly, I use the following script
to load
my modules correctly:

modprobe -r cx88-dvb cx88-blackbird cx8802 cx88-alsa cx8800 cx88xx tuner
tuner-simple
modprobe tuner-simple debug=1
modprobe cx88xx tuner=38
modprobe cx8800

After running this script dmesg states:

>From my point of view this line is critical:

This should type 38 instead, like in:

cx88[0]: TV tuner type 38, Radio tuner type -1

I already opened a bugreport in the Kernels bugzilla, but noone is
responding: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11367 So I
thought this would be the correct place to get things rolling.

Thanks for your help.

Hi again,

I switched the pci - slot of the tv - card just to check if there is any
other behaviour (regarding eeprom detection). It just did not help :-(

>From the archlinux forum someone asked me wether my card is listed in
the pci-id repository. I don't know if this is relevant to the modul...

lspci -nn reports:

01:09.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI
Video and Audio Decoder [14f1:8800] (rev 05)
01:09.1 Multimedia controller [0480]: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video
and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] [14f1:8811] (rev 05)

If I take a look into http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=0070 I can not find
my id 8811 / 8800. (If I get s.th. wrong here, I'm sorry and an absolute
beginner in this topic ;-))

My card is a Hauppauge PCI-FM it is model nr. 34519 revision J160.

Anyway, from my point of view, the modul should (again) provide a way to
set the tuner manually.

Greetings

Marcel
