9 This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV
16 Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ...
18 As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a
19 list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card
26 Once you pick up a Kernel source, you should configure, build,
27 install and boot the new kernel. You'll need at least
28 these config options::
30 ./scripts/config -e PCI
31 ./scripts/config -e INPUT
32 ./scripts/config -m I2C
33 ./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
34 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT
35 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
36 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT
37 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT
38 ./scripts/config -e RC_CORE
39 ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT
40 ./scripts/config -m VIDEO_SAA7134
41 ./scripts/config -e SAA7134_ALSA
42 ./scripts/config -e VIDEO_SAA7134_RC
43 ./scripts/config -e VIDEO_SAA7134_DVB
44 ./scripts/config -e VIDEO_SAA7134_GO7007
46 To build and install, you should run::
48 make && make modules_install && make install
50 Once the new Kernel is booted, saa7134 driver should be loaded automatically.
52 Depending on the card you might have to pass ``card=<nr>`` as insmod option.
53 If so, please check :doc:`saa7134-cardlist` for valid choices.
55 Once you have your card type number, you can pass a modules configuration
56 via a file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
57 ``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
58 distribution), with this content::
60 options saa7134 card=13 # Assuming that your card type is #13
66 Please mail to linux-media AT vger.kernel.org unified diffs against
67 the linux media git tree:
69 https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/
71 This is done by committing a patch at a clone of the git tree and
72 submitting the patch using ``git send-email``. Don't forget to
73 describe at the lots what it changes / which problem it fixes / whatever
80 * The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the
81 default might not work for you depending on which version you have.
82 There is a ``tuner=`` insmod option to override the driver's default.
