Hi Nigel, I probed the module v4l2-common, but with no effect. The /dev/video0 can't still be accessible as it seems (even with xawtv, it gave the same error message content). Perhaps the problem is a usb-interface problem (even though the module uhci-hcd is loaded). The USB ports in this laptop are version 1.1 and it may be the cause that the TV-Tuner is not identified as a video source. I may try it on another PC having USB 2.0.
Thanks again. - Anas On 7/4/08, Nigel Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Anas.
