Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

| 3 | What is it? | ||
| 4 | =========== | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV | ||
| 7 | boards. See http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/saa7134hl for a | ||
| 8 | description. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Status | ||
| 12 | ====== | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ... | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a | ||
| 17 | list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card | ||
| 18 | configuration info. | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Build | ||
| 22 | ===== | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Pick up videodev + v4l2 patches from http://bytesex.org/patches/. | ||
| 25 | Configure, build, install + boot the new kernel. You'll need at least | ||
| 26 | these config options: | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | CONFIG_I2C=m | ||
| 29 | CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Type "make" to build the driver now. "make install" installs the | ||
| 32 | driver. "modprobe saa7134" should load it. Depending on the card you | ||
| 33 | might have to pass card=<nr> as insmod option, check CARDLIST for | ||
| 34 | valid choices. | ||
| 35 | |||

| 37 | Changes / Fixes | ||
| 38 | =============== | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | Please mail me unified diffs ("diff -u") with your changes, and don't | ||
| 41 | forget to tell me what it changes / which problem it fixes / whatever | ||
| 42 | it is good for ... | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | Known Problems | ||
| 46 | ============== | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | * The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the | ||
| 49 | default might not work for you depending on which version you have. | ||
| 50 | There is a tuner= insmod option to override the driver's default. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | Card Variations: | ||
| 53 | ================ | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | Cards can use either of these two crystals (xtal): | ||
| 56 | - 32.11 MHz -> .audio_clock=0x187de7 | ||
| 57 | - 24.576MHz -> .audio_clock=0x200000 | ||
| 58 | (xtal * .audio_clock = 51539600) | ||
