The tuner of my TV card is apparently being misdetected by linux 2.6's video4linux drivers.
The tail of `grep -ih 'tuner:.*type' /var/log/syslog*` makes me suspicious: Apr 18 09:15:40 chilia kernel: tuner: type set to 5 (Philips PAL_BG (FI1216 and compatibles)) by bt878 #0 [sw] Apr 18 09:43:30 chilia kernel: tuner: type already set (8) The first entry above (Apr 18 09:15:40) is for my linux 2.6 boot. Here the tuner is detected as type=5 or Philips PAL_BG. This gives bad video: undersaturated colors and wrong TV channels. I suspect the "PAL_BG" has something to do with it. Our signal is NTSC, so I think the second entry above (Apr 18 09:43:30), when I rebooted to my trusty linux 2.4 kernel, shows the correct tuner type. Tuner type=8 is Temic NTSC (4036 FY5). This option (forced via /etc/modules.conf and friends) gives the "right" colors and TV channels. Is there a way to force the type=8 parameter to the 'tuner' module. Under linux 2.4 I have the following in /etc/modules.conf, which is apparently being ignored by linux 2.6: options tuner type=8 debug=1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
