Re: Issue with LifeView FlyDVB-T Duo CardBus.

["Francesco Marangoni" <fmarangoni@libero.it>]

Hi Hermann,

the card works fine on win2000 on another pc. The pc with linux installed is a pentium 3 800 mhz with RAM 256 MB: I don't think it's a resources problem because when I launch channels scan ram used is always at 70 MB and CPU is at 25%. The card becomes warm after the use, but not hot.

What dou You think about errors in compiling v4l-dvb?

And from output of dmesg | grep saa do You think the card has benn well detected or there is something wrong?

Thanks a lot for any suggetsion.
