5 This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip.
13 - Some minor image quality glitches.
14 - Red and blue are swapped sometimes for not-yet known
15 reasons (seems to depend on the image size, try to resize
16 your tv app window as workaround ...).
17 - For now only capture, overlay support isn't completed yet.
20 - The chip specs for the on-chip TV sound decoder are next
22 - Neverless the builtin TV sound decoder starts working now,
23 at least for PAL-BG. Other TV norms need other code ...
24 FOR ANY REPORTS ON THIS PLEASE MENTION THE TV NORM YOU ARE
26 - Most tuner chips do provide mono sound, which may or may not
27 be useable depending on the board design. With the Hauppauge
28 cards it works, so there is mono sound available as fallback.
29 - audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the
30 sound card) should be possible, but there is no code yet ...
33 - some code present. Doesn't crash any more, but also doesn't
37 how to add support for new cards
38 ================================
40 The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in
41 cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new
42 entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg)
43 to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line
46 cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \
47 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
49 If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to
50 the driver. What to do then?
52 (1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added
54 (2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at
55 cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified
57 (3) Or you can mail me the config information. I need at least the
58 following informations to add the card:
60 * the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above,
61 "lspci -v" output is fine too).
62 * the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by
63 trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you
64 know which one the card has you can also have a look at the
65 list in CARDLIST.tuner
