+cx8800 release notes
+====================
+
+This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip.
+
+
+current status
+==============
+
+video
+ Basically works. Some minor quality glitches. For now
+ only capture, overlay support isn't completed yet.
+
+audio
+ Doesn't work. Also the chip specs for the on-chip TV sound
+ decoder are next to useless :-/
+ Most tuner chips do provide mono sound, which may or may not
+ be useable depending on the board design. With the Hauppauge
+ cards it works, so there is at least mono sound. Not nice,
+ but better than nothing.
+
+vbi
+ not implemented yet (but I don't expect problems here, just
+ found no time for that yet).
+
+
+how to add support for new cards
+================================
+
+The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in
+cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new
+entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg)
+to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line
+like this one:
+
+ cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \
+ 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
+
+If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to
+the driver.
+
+You can try to create a new entry yourself, or you can mail me the
+config information. I need at least the following informations to
+add the card:
+
+ * the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above, "lspci -v"
+ output is fine too).
+ * the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by
+ trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you
+ know which one the card has you can also have a look at the
+ list in CARDLIST.tuner
+
+Have fun,
+

+
+infrared remote control support in video4linux drivers
+======================================================
+
+
+basics
+------
+
+Current versions use the linux input layer to support infrared
+remote controls. I suggest to download my input layer tools
+from http://bytesex.org/snapshot/input-<date>.tar.gz
+
+Modules you have to load:
+
+ saa7134 statically built in, i.e. just the driver :)
+ bttv ir-kbd-gpio or ir-kbd-i2c depending on your
+ card.
+
+ir-kbd-gpio and ir-kbd-i2c don't support all cards lirc supports
+(yet), mainly for the reason that the code of lirc_i2c and lirc_gpio
+was very confusing and I decided to basically start over from scratch.
+Feel free to contact me in case of trouble. Note that the ir-kbd-*
+modules work on 2.6.x kernels only through ...
+
+
+how it works
+------------
+
+The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
+layer, i.e. you'll see the keys of the remote as normal key strokes
+(if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled).
+
+Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for
+applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event<n> devices.
+You might have to create the special files using "/sbin/MAKEDEV
+input". The input layer tools mentioned above use the event device.
+
+The input layer tools are nice for trouble shooting, i.e. to check
+whenever the input device is really present, which of the devices it
+is, check whenever pressing keys on the remote actually generates
+events and the like. You can also use the kbd utility to change the
+keymaps (2.6.x kernels only through).
+
+
+using with lircd
+================
+
+The cvs version of the lircd daemon supports reading events from the
+linux input layer (via event device). The input layer tools tarball
+comes with a lircd config file.
+
+
+using without lircd
+===================
+
+XFree86 likely can be configured to recognise the remote keys. Once I
+simply tried to configure one of the multimedia keyboards as input
+device, which had the effect that XFree86 recognised some of the keys
+of my remote control and passed volume up/down key presses as
+XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume key events to the X11
+clients.
+
+It likely is possible to make that fly with a nice xkb config file,
+I know next to nothing about that through.
+
+
+Have fun,
+

+
+
+What is it?
+===========
+
+This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV
+boards. See http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/saa7134hl for a
+description.
+
+
+Status
+======
+
+Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ...
+
+As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a
+list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card
+configuration info.
+
+
+Build
+=====
+
+Pick up videodev + v4l2 patches from http://bytesex.org/patches/.
+Configure, build, install + boot the new kernel. You'll need at least
+these config options:
+
+ CONFIG_I2C=m
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+
+Type "make" to build the driver now. "make install" installs the
+driver. "modprobe saa7134" should load it. Depending on the card you
+might have to pass card=<nr> as insmod option, check CARDLIST for
+valid choices.
+
+
+Changes / Fixes
+===============
+
+Please mail me unified diffs ("diff -u") with your changes, and don't
+forget to tell me what it changes / which problem it fixes / whatever
+it is good for ...
+
+
+Known Problems
+==============
+
+* The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the
+ default might not work for you depending on which version you have.
+ There is a tuner= insmod option to override the driver's default.
+
+Card Variations:
+================
+
+Cards can use either of these two crystals (xtal):
+ - 32.11 MHz -> .audio_clock=0x187de7
+ - 24.576MHz -> .audio_clock=0x200000
+(xtal * .audio_clock = 51539600)
+

bttv.o
the bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
-IMPORTANT: Don't send me mails with images attached unless I ask you
-to do so. Mails with images attached will go to /dev/null unseen.

-Release notes for bttv-0.7.x
-============================
-
-This version is based on Ralphs 0.6.4 release. There are alot of
-changes. Bugfixes, merged patches from other people, merged fixes
-from the kernel version, port to the new i2c stack, removed support
-for 2.0.x, code cleanups, ...
-
-To compile this bttv version, you'll the new i2c stack. Kernels
-newer than 2.3.34 have this already included. If you have a older
-kernel, download it from:
- http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/download.html
+Release notes for bttv
+======================
You'll need at least these config options for bttv:
-CONFIG_I2C=m
-CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
-CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+ CONFIG_I2C=m
+ CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
The latest bttv version is available from http://bytesex.org/bttv/
-You'll find Ralphs original (mostly outdated) documentation in the
-ralphs-doc subdirectory.

-Compile bttv
-------------
-
-If you are compiling the kernel version, just say 'm' if you are asked
-for bttv. I /strongly/ recommend to compile bttv as module, because
-there are some insmod options for configuring the driver. Starting
-with 0.7.49 the most important ones are available as kernel args too.
-
-If you downloaded the separate bttv bundle: You need configured kernel
-sources to compile the bttv driver. The driver uses some Makefile
-magic to compile the modules with your kernel's configuration
-(wrt. module-versions, SMP, ...). If you already have compiled the
-kernel at least once, you probably don't have do worry about this. If
-not, go to /usr/src/linux and run at least "make config". Even
-better, compile your own kernel, you'll never become a real hacker
-else ;-)
-Note that you have to turn on video4linux support (CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV)
-in the kernel to get the videodev.o module which is required by bttv.
-
Make bttv work with your card
-----------------------------
-Setup your /etc/modules.conf file and let kmod load the modules.
-See also:
+Just try "modprobe bttv" and see if that works.
-Modules.conf: some sample entries for /etc/modules.conf
-Insmod-options: list of all insmod options available for bttv and
- the helper modules.
-MAKEDEV: a script to create the special files for v4l
-CARDLIST: List of all supported cards
-Cards: more detailed descriptions of known TV cards:
- OEM name variants, used i2c chips, ...
- also includes non-bttv cards.
-
-Loading just the bttv modules isn't enouth for most cards. The
-drivers for the i2c tuner/sound chips must also be loaded. bttv tries
-to load them automagically by calling request_module() now, but this
-obviously works only with kmod enabled.
+If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
+insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
+to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
+very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
+cards is in CARDLIST.bttv
If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules.conf:
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
-The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n" to select the
-correct card type in case the autodetection does'nt work. If you get
-video but no sound you've very likely specified the wrong (or no)
-card type. A list of supported cards is in CARDLIST.
-
For the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from the driver CD:
hcwamc.rbf. The file is in the pvr45xxx.exe archive (self-extracting
zip file, unzip can unpack it). Put it into the /etc/pvr directory or
use the firm_altera=<path> insmod option to point the driver to the
location of the file.
-If your card isn't listed in CARDLIST or if you have trouble making
+If your card isn't listed in CARDLIST.bttv or if you have trouble making
audio work, you should read the Sound-FAQ.
in bttv-cards.c (in case you are intrested or want to mail patches
with updates).
-Old driver versions used to have a heuristic which could identify some
-bt848-based cards. It worked for Hauppauge and Miro cards in most
-cases (simply because these where the first cards available on the
-market), but misdetected other bt848 cards. That code is gone now for
-exactly this reason, the misdetection confused lots of people. If you
-have a old Hauppauge or Miro card, you'll have to load the driver with
-card=1 or card=2 these days.

Still doesn't work?
