It seems to load file according to attached log. What is not working?

Show me where in YaST to configure it. Yes, there is support in the kernel but there is no support anywhere else. Hence the request for an enhancement.

So you are saying that yast2-tv module is unable to detect or configure this card?

YaST screen dump

One only need look at the supported cards under YaST-->Hardware-->TV Card-->Hauppauge to see that. It is not auto selected or manually selectable.

.

I guess hwinfo doesn't properly detect the device.

Please attach 'hwinfo' output.

Your guess is wrong, it is detected but there is _no_ choice for it in YaST.

hwinfo output:

  oss.card = 1 (0x1)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/mixer1'
  oss.card_id = 'Hauppauge WinTV HVR-950'

This is just the sound part detected by HAL (!= Yast).

Please, attach the complete 'hwinfo' output (or at least 'hwinfo --tv' and 'hwinfo --dvb' outputs).

hwinfo detects the device, but it reports "Unclassified device" class, not TV or DVB device:

According to the vendor specifications found at
http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr950q.html
the digital part should be supported in Linux.

It isn't just the HVR-950q, the original HVR-950 has this problem as well.  It occurs in both 11.1 and trunk.

Yes, I know it says HVR-980, but it is an HVR-950.

I've updated dvb & tv card data.

I'm still not seeing it in 11.2 M8

Yes, not in M8. But it's in Factory meanwhile.

How can we get it, or do we have to wait?  And are both hvr 950 and hvr 950q there, or just one?  They are apparently completely different devices.

From download.opensuse.org?

I have upgraded to the latest Factory this morning (2009-10-08) and I still do not see the Hauppauge HVR950(q) in the list.

Note: the 950q supports HD channels.

please run 'hwinfo --tv --dvd --log=foo' and attach the log

Um, it should be '--dvb' instead of '--dvd' I guess...

ehm, sure, '--dvb' please

See Comment #4 and comment #9

Again, the card is NOT listed in YaST-->Hardware-->TV Card-->Hauppauge

Why is this so hard to understand?

Because YaST doesn't have the database for em28xx based TV devices.

But you should not need to configure it in YaST, the kernel driver should be loaded when the device is attached to PC automatically.

To fine tune the kernel setting you have to press 'Expert setting...' or 'Edit' after adding the card.

Fixed in yast2-tv-2.18.4.tar.bz2
