AverMedia M115 (inside Acer Aspire WMLI 5510) not working fine with kernel 2.6.27-19 / Mandriva 2009.0

Hi all,

I'm trying to get this piece of HW working under linux. This is the only 
part of the HW I could'nt get up/running yet in that laptop with linux.

M115 is working fine with WinXP, of course.

Here is the dmesg output :

When running TVTIME, I can scan for UHF channel (France) and signal is 
somehow found on the main analog broadcast channels.
However, image is fuzzy (I'll upload some captures later), like if SECAM 
was not selected, but some kind of special PAL config somewhere.
However fuzzy image is in color only in SECAM, so SECAM color decoder is 
really started. Only video sync part is not working.

I can also select Composite Input, which I could so far only test with a 
PAL source, image is perfect.


Also, even if module 7134_alsa is loaded, no sound in either composite 
input or analog Tuner.

And finally, the DVB stuff is not found by Xine/Kaffeine.



I'd like to try the set of drivers from mercury reposal but so far I 
could'nt build (will post later on errors I have)


any hints ?
