Hi all,

Ive been trying to enable a Mercury TV tuner on suse 10 with no success so
far. Ive located the chipset and a lspci -v gives

02:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video
Broadcast De
coder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 18d0:2100
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 3 Memory at
fdcfe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [40]
Power Management version 1

Ive tried using Xawtv & kdetv both dont produce either sound or picture as
I belive drivers/tuner are not installed. Through googling ive found that
card comes under LifeView FlyVIDEO3000.
However when selecting this through YAST it indicates there is no
tuner available. Not sure if its relevant but when trying out few other
cards & tuners and then scanning channels through yast I get the error The
Kernel module for TV support could not be loaded

Could anyone guide me in the right direction to get this working?

TIA

Googling shows this card is a video4linux card. Make sure the video4linux
software is installed (use Yast) and check out the video4linux wiki at:
