Introduction

Hello,

I just received my Hauppauge PVR250 yesterday and after some googling around
I found the ivtv project here at sourceforge.
I gladly volunteer as a tester since I understand you are looking for one.

I have not yet installed the card (busy with some other prjoects and real
life) but this will be rectified shortly.

What would be the most useful setup for testing ?

Currently my only working linux is in a VMWare virtual machine :) I normally
run XP but I have a spare box where I can install linux on. I can do RedHat
7.2 or 8.0 quite easily.

What version gcc should I install ? Any other special setup ?

A little about me: I live in a country that broadcasts PAL B/G, I know a
little about a lot, handy with the soldering iron and electronics in
general, own a digital scope (if any hardware probing is required)

I'm also literate in misc programming languages and several flavours of
assembler (micros and CPUs)

Regards

Alex

Re: Introduction [In reply to]

Alex,

Thanks for volunteering.

Not much to being a tester really, just run the code
and let us know if anything is wierd, crashes, sounds
funny, etc.

I'm in NTSC-Land, so there will probably be lots of
little pal-specific stuff that i'll miss. Does your
card have a scart or regular video in/out?

ideally, set your box up as dual-boot (windows/linux).

Have you ever used loadlin? We have some tricky things
to try and learn from the windows driver.

i have gcc 3.2 (stock redhat 8.0), so i know it works
on that. Up to you really.
