I'm having a kernel related issue (I think) with the BT878 card I have
in my gentoo box.
Here are pastebin results of varius infomation, I hope I give all the
necessary info. If I am missing something or you need more, please let
me know.
dmesg -> http://rafb.net/p/MVIiSg62.html
xorg.conf -> http://rafb.net/p/dXz4Ry49.html
Xorg.0.log -> http://rafb.net/p/LbPBZT56.html
config -> http://rafb.net/p/Dm5LDM88.html
xawtv gives me a window and when I right click, I can choose what
format and region and all that jazz, but I get no picture. I do get a
green overlay w/ some static when it doesn't cause my X Session to
freeze. Below is the console output of two apps I am trying to use to
access the TV Card.
tvtime produces the following error:
xaero@Leviathan ~ $ tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/xaero/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.
*** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card
*** driver. If you are using an older NVIDIA card (TNT2), then
*** this capability is only available with their binary drivers.
*** For some ATI cards, this feature may be found in the experimental
*** GATOS drivers: http://gatos.souceforge.net/
*** If unsure, please check with your distribution to see if your
*** X driver supports hardware overlay surfaces.
xaero@Leviathan ~ $
tvtime-scanner now that made my heart jump ... cause it scanned and
stored all my basic cable channels. But I still can't get a video
signal. So I am obviously missing something.
So hopefully someone can help me

I assume you did read the message tvtime spit out and looked into it?
These are the updated pastbin links to my BT8x8 issue. Hopefully these
are helpful, if you need more information, let me know.

You didn't answer Robert's question.
And you are using the fglrx driver; you'll have to ask ATI whether if
supports video overlays and how to configure it.

I thought I did, I reposted w/ newer links and the GATOS project doesn't
apply to me because my card isn't supported ... was there something I
missed?
