Keep up the good work :)
Regards.

Finally it works! I installed Mythbuntu 9.10 and created the ‘options’ file as you mentioned above. And then my TV card worked instantly! Now I installed Ubuntu 9.10, created the options file again and still everything is OK. I re-installed Ubuntu, coz I prefer the Gnome interface.
Maybe I had these problems half a year ago, because I didn’t create the options file with sudo. I’m not sure if that was the problem, but it sounds plausible to me.

One more remark:
It’s better to call the file ‘options.conf’, otherwise a warning is created that files in modprobe.d need a .conf extension for future use.

If so, then it would be a really useful alternative for Unmodded NTSC-J PS2s.

Currently I only know that Swap Magic 3.6 Plus can boot into the uLaunch.elf and run homebrew, but if this also confirmed to work and is compatible with NTSC-J consoles, I’d buy one very soon.

“when asked if you wish to overwrite files which already exist, choose no to all”

This should be ‘yes to all’, otherwise you cant access the ps2dev.org svn and only get invalid command errors when attempting to update ps2devsdk files.

If I run the rmmod and modprobe commands in the order given in original post, I get the following output from dmesg. The blank line indicates the shift from the rmmod to the modprobe commands.

Also here is a the output from lsmod, in case you might have some modules loaded which conflict with the cx88xx modules.

This is the output I get when running tvtime from a shell.

Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/lukasz/.tvtime/tvtime.xml

Based on your I/O error output, it looks like you might have some user rights issues with the ‘mythtvuser’.

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for the info above. I have a AOpen XCcube AV EA65 with the same TV card (I think).

I think your info got me any further, but still I ain’t there yet. But I am actually using Ubuntu 9.04. Here I don’t have the /etc/modprobe.d/options file, so I created one. But I got a warning that I had to rename the file to options.conf, when running modprobe (so modprobe IS using the file). So I changed the filename. But still no succes. I tried ’scan’, Kaffeine and the tvtime you mentioned above. But nothing works.

scan gives the most clear error:
mythtvuser@mythtv-desktop:~$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nl-All > ~/.tzap/channels.conf
scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nl-All
using ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0′ and ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0′
main:2273: FATAL: failed to open ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0′: 2 No such file or directory

And tvtime gives a whole list of errors. Here are the first few lines:
mythtvuser@mythtv-desktop:~$ tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
I/O warning : failed to load external entity “/home/mythtvuser/.tvtime/tvtime.xml”

I/O error : Permission denied
Cannot change owner of /home/mythtvuser/.tvtime/tvtime.xml: Permission denied.

Cannot allocate enough off-screen video memory. This may be fixed by:

1. Closing or restarting large X applications.
2. Lowering the input width of tvtime (–inputwidth parameter).
3. Lowering your colour depth or highest configured resolution.
4. Increasing the amount of video memory in your X config file
(for example, if you are using the i810 XFree86 driver.)

See http://tvtime.net/ for more information.

Do you have any idea what I am missing?

I couldn’t get it working with the 1600×1200 on DVI. I don’t know if there’s anyway around the DVI monitor being the primary. But with that setup the max resolution I could get was 3200×1200.

Seeing that was the only thing I had different was the DVI/VGA setup. I switched that and got 3840×1200 with linux automagically knowing my second monitor 1600 res.

I also got the very latest drivers from ATI (9.3) which I say have a less buggy version of amdcccle.

Now at the PS3 world :)
Seems cool!

That was real fun….
