1 I've been working on this for several days but do not seem to make any
2 progress.
3 I have a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card which is based on the Philips saa7134
4 chip. I have recomipled my kernel (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) to include the
5 saa7134 module and i2c support as a module.

7 lsmod output :

12 tuner 26920 0
13 video_buf 17924 1 saa7134
14 v4l2_common 5184 1 saa7134
15 v4l1_compat 14084 1 saa7134
16 ir_common 6660 1 saa7134
17 videodev 7808 1 saa7134

19 Relevant entries added to my /etc/modules.conf after modules-update is run:
20 (I am in New Zealand and know that card number and tuner number are
21 correct as I have had this card working in Mandrake 10.1 a week or so ago)
22
23 ### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/saa7134
24 options saa7134 card=26 tuner=5 oss=1
25
26 ### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/saa7134

28 ### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/tda9887
29 options tda9887 qss=0

31 ### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/tda9887

33 My Kernel .config file can be found at

36 I'd appreciate any feedback on what I might be doing wrong that is causing
37 the TV Card not to work.

39 Once I have the card working my aim is to build a MythTV box using this
40 card, so any pointers on this would also be appreciated (especially from
41 anyone in New Zealand who has experience in this area).

43 Thanks
