After installed the Linux display driver for an ATI Radeon HD 3450 on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, bttv stopped to work properly. As said in a previous post, unloading and reloading bttv is a temporary fix that works. It makes me think that something wrong happens when modules are loaded. So I decided to blacklist bttv and load it at the end of each multiuser runlevel through rc.local. Using rc.local requires us to place the right command before the exit status. I used this command:
/sbin/modprobe bttv card=1 tuner=0 radio=0 pll=0 gbuffers=4 gpiomask=0x23000f audiomux=0x230002,0x230002,0x230000,0x230000
at the top of the file. After that, bttv works fine but it's not a permanent solution.
As a matter of fact, an older kern.log lists this error (boot time):
(bttv0) irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
...
(bttv_irq+0x0/0x4a0 [bttv])
Disabling IRQ #17
Loading bttv at the end of each multiuser runlevel doesn't fix the problem forever but just hides it from me.
| stefano@ARAGORN:~$ dmesg | grep bttv [ 27.447360] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded ... [ 27.448437] IRQ 17/bttv0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs |
I suspect that a different pci slot for my tv card would solve the problem. We'll see...
Best regards
