Ok I will start out with the problem and then go into more detail: Basically when I run xawtv is says: This is xawtv-3.74, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.18-17.8.0) ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway WARNING: v4l and dga disagree about the framebuffer base WARNING: fbuf.base=0xd8753000, dga=0xd8000000 WARNING: Is v4l-conf installed correctly? WARNING: overlay mode disabled Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-semicondensed--39-*" to type FontStruct
And then when I go to my svideo I do not see anything.
I am running Redhat 8.0 with a Matrox G450 eTV capture card. I had no problems with it working on slackware or redhat 7.3 on my previous box (same capture card) but on my new box when I installed redhat 8 it didn’t work. I installed it per http://linux.zsolt.net/marvel.html without the kernel recompile (it wasn’t required in redhat 7.3).
I have the following output from lsmod: Module Size Used by Tainted: P ide-cd 33608 0 (autoclean) cdrom 33696 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] i810_audio 25224 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 13416 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6532 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] mgajpg 9492 0 i33 8244 0 [mgajpg] zr36060 15184 0 [mgajpg i33] mgacap 8276 0 [mgajpg] videodev 8288 2 [mgajpg mgacap] mgavideo 9928 0 [mgajpg i33 mgacap] mgagrab 12928 1 [mgacap mgavideo] mga_core 52888 4 [mgajpg i33 zr36060 mgacap mgavideo mgagrab] maven 7996 0 (unused) msp3400 16332 1 [mga_core] ks0127 11840 1 [mga_core] tuner 5792 1 [mga_core] i2c-algo-ks 7976 1 [mga_core] i2c-core 19268 0 [mga_core maven msp3400 ks0127 tuner i2c-algo-ks] ipt_MASQUERADE 2200 1 (autoclean) iptable_mangle 2776 0 (autoclean) (unused) iptable_nat 19960 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE] ip_conntrack 21244 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat] autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) ns83820 15504 1 8139too 17704 1 mii 2156 0 [8139too] iptable_filter 2412 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 14936 6 [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_mangle iptable_nat iptable_filter] ohci1394 20108 0 (unused) ieee1394 46892 0 [ohci1394] mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5920 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] ehci-hcd 17480 0 (unused) usb-ohci 21320 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-ohci] ext3 70368 2 jbd 52212 2 [ext3]
My XF86Config file contains:
Has: Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "fbdevhw" Load "dri" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "freetype" Load "Xvideo" Load "v4l" Load "dga" Load "type1" EndSection
Section "Device" # XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy is required in Xinerama configurations only #Option "XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy" #BusID Identifier "Matrox Millennium G450" Driver "mga" VendorName "Matrox Millennium G450" BoardName "Matrox Millennium G450" EndSection
Anyway I don’t know what else to do so any help would be great. |
