TV Card - Terratec Cinergy 600 not autodetected
Last modified: 2007-02-16 14:02:48 UTC
I have Terratec Cinergy 600 which is not autodetected on all versions of SUSE to 10.0 Beta2. Yast founds the saa7134 module, but cannot figure which model it is. The modprobe.conf options I use to make my TV card works are as it follows: options saa7134 card=11 tuner=38 gbuffers=4 options tda9887 port2=0 Regards, Igor Jagec
I forgot to tell you this important thing. If I want my TV card to work, I have to put in my /etc/rc.local (or somewhere to make that script initializes during start up): /sbin/modprobe tda9887
Please provide output of hwinfo, see: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST

Thanks for the logs. hwinfo detects the card, assigned to appropriate developer.
Created attachment 47268 [details] hwinfo2 The tvcard worked because I manually did the following: # /sbin/modprobe tda9887 # /sbin/modprobe saa7134 card=11 tuner=38 gbuffers=4 # /sbin/modprobe tda9887 port2=0 In the first case, all the options were put in /etc/modprobe.conf. Now I erased these parameters and I did hwinfo again, as you can see in the attachment. I saw that the card was recognised, but it did not worked if I didn't manually use upper options. Yast didn't recognised it, and even if I manually select Terratec Cinergy 600 in Yast, it didn't worked without the upper options. Regards, Igor Jagec

Gerd, the first hwinfo output tells that saa7134 driver autodetects card type 48, but it should be (as reported above) 11. But CARDLIST.saa7134 (from kernel package) says "11 -> Terratec Cinergy 600 TV [153B:1143]" and "48 -> Terratec Cinergy 600 TV MK3 [153B:1158]". The TV card has subdevice 0x1158, so card type 48 should be correct. Or is it a bug in kernel? Another thing is that hwinfo reports just one driver (saa7134), tda9887 is not reported for this device.
JFY: I just have realized that the TV card database is old, it has not been updated to the latest kernel. See bug #112710
tda9887 should get autoloaded by saa7134 if needed, hwinfo doesn't need to know about that one. I don't maintain v4l and the drivers any more, so I'm not fully up to date especially about recent cards. I'd guess the autodetected card=48 is correct, does the card work with that? If so, then everything should do fine with the tv card db updated (comment #9).
No reaction on this bug for more than 17 months. Closing as CANTFIX.
