[posted to debian-multimedia, but it looks like unused so I repost here] Hello,
I have problems to make a frame grabber card working with colors in PAL mode after a switch from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel. The card is an embedded PC104+ with a BT848 chip. It has a camera connected on Television input slot. The embedded system was previously installed with a 2.4.20 kernel from a RedHat installation. When booting bbtv module identified tuner to 4 (found to be tuner absent) and BT848A card to 0 (unknown/generic). I made several tests with xawtv, and the system worked with PAL mode, I even made some developments do directly get images and send them via CORBA. To have better support for USB+Wifi I setup another HD with a Debian Sarge, with a 2.6.8 kernel (updated to 2.6.12-rc4 to solve some problems with Wifi). With 2.6 kernels the card is well recognized as 0 (unknown/generic), tuner is recognized as 0 (notuner). But PAL mode no longer work. I could make the card work with PAL-Nc, but with black and white images only. I tried to force bttv driver options with tuner set to 4 as previously, but problem remain the same. I tried to compare 2.4 and 2.6 sources, but they are too different so I cannot found the beginning of a solution. Can a bttv driver expert give me some way to modify/test (maybe this is just a chip register parameter to adjust), I can modify sources to do some tests if necessary. Thanks for any idea/solution path. L.
