Most of the driver-specific documentation is meant to help users of the media subsystem. Move them to the admin-guide. It should be noticed, however, that several of those files are outdated and will require further work in order to make them useful again.

|
|
==================

|

|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
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.

Known Problems

|
--------------
|
|
|
|
* The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the

|
There is a tuner= insmod option to override the driver's default.
