xawtv doesn't saves settings for my tv tuner

Hi, I am a beginner in Linux.

I performed a full hdd install of Knoppix 3.3.
My tv card is no. 96 and my tuner is no. 28 in setting program.
After each time I reboot, I have to set-up my tuner again, otherwise xawtv doesn't work.
I noticed that xawtv remembers the channels, so I don't have to scan again for the tv channels.

I took a look at modules.conf but is very different than the one I had
under Red Hat 9, and I am not sure what changes to do.

Please help me.

hi,

try this: cp the .xawtvrc- file in your $HOME (e. g. /home/knoppix/)

or: man 5 xawtvrc

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed answer, but I was away for home and for my computer for a while.
I started my computer in Linux, configured my tv tuner, and after that I searched for xawtvrc or .xawtvrc but I didn't find them.

Hi,

I've experienced the same problem. I can not find the xawtvrc file nowhere on HDD. Including /etc/X11. What can I do?
My problem: the full screen is showing a lot of "black screen" around the actual tv chanel. I want to edit this "xawtvrc" file to corect this thing ( if possible ).

Thank you

Your xawtv configuration file is: ~/.xawtv. Edit this, and look for the line 'use-wm-fullscreen = yes'

Then do this:

Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, scroll down until you find: Section "Module"

Then add this line: Load "v4l". This loads the video4linux X11 module.

If that doesn't work, your video card may also need the bttv module explicitly loaded at boot. For example, my ATI TV-Wonder VE requires the following line inserted into /etc/modutils/actions: options bttv card=64 tuner=2 (then run update-modules)

For other xawtv configuration options, run configure_xawtv, although I believe that the newer versions of Knoppix have a 'configure tv' option in the Knoppix menu (I still run Knoppix 3.2).

Hi cul971

Did you solved the problem with the card ??? Mine also does not remember settings after the reboot.
Thx for responce
