Hi,
I'm new to Ubuntu and hope someone can help me out.
Just installed Ubuntu 8.10 desktop version. I have a AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid + FM PCI (saa7134 chip) installed and used this tutorial (http://translate.google.com.au/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fzonabuologica.wordpress.c om%2F2007%2F12%2F04%2Fconfigurar-avermedia-avertv-hybrid-fm-pci-chip-saa7134%2F&sl=es&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8) - translated from Spanish no less - to make it work. It works perfectly, except "the settings" are forgotten after I reboot.
The essential commands were :
sudo rmmod saa7134_alsa saa7134-dvb saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=99
sudo modprobe saa7134_alsa
sudo modprobe saa7134-dvb
Now, my problem is, after re-boot, the modprobe stuff is all forgotten and the card is no longer recognised by ubuntu.
The tutorial says to do this :
sudo gedit / etc / modules
and add these lines
saa7134 card=99
saa7134_alsa
saa7134-dvb
... but it doesnt work ... I edited the /etc/modules file and added the lines, yet when I reboot the card is "gone" and I have to do the modprobe stuff to see get ubuntu to see the card. I guess there is a log file somewhere telling me what's happening, but I have no clue as to where to start looking.
So ... how do I make the modprobe changes "stick" ??
Any help for a linux newbie is greatly appreciated.
