[linux-dvb] Re: Avermedia problem kernel setup?

[Jon Whitear <linuxtv@whitear.org>]

Ben,

I haven't used xine, so I can't help on that, but you might find the
following links useful for setup and troubleshooting of DVB:-

http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/mythdvb.html

This one's aimed at MythTV, but the first part, about testing DVB using
the DVB-apps is good.

http://robdvd.radfiles.net/viewtopic.php?t=447

I have a VisionPlus card, so this one was useful for me, but might give
you some good pointers.

The .ko extension means it's a module. They used to be .o under 2.4.x,
now they're .ko. I had lots of problems getting ALSA working under 2.6.1
on my Via EPIA board, although in the end, compiling everything as
modules worked. Here's my lsmod:-
