Talk:SAA7134
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
is the command echo "saa7134" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 or echo "saa7134 i2c_scan=1" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ? i use the 2nd with options
Its the first one. That's telling your kernel to load the saa7134 module on boot. You set the actual options in /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134. SDibb
When working out what type of card you have, how do you get from:
0000:01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Audio+video broadcast decoder (rev 10)
To card number 2? Is "rev 10" binary or something?
rev 10 just means "revision 10". In my case, my card was a lifeview flyvideo 3000. Almost all the saa7134 cards will show similar output you posted, because they are using the same chipset. Its the same concept with a lot of hardware, like you buy some cheepy shmeepy brand network card, but the chipset is Realtek or something like that. Same with video cards, etc.
Anyway, the way you find it is by looking in the CARD and TUNER lists in the kernel documentation.
cardlist -> 2 -> LifeView FlyVIDEO3000 [5168:0138,4e42:0138]
tunerlist -> tuner=2 - Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)
That's how you start to find out -- based on who packaged your video card.

I think aac has a slight memory leak but that is only a educated guess at this stage - John H
Some models of Encore ENLTV-FM do not work with configuration: card=107, this work only with configuration card=3, and tuner=37 or tuner=69.--200.56.178.32 01:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
