Many Linux-user report problems with Tvtime and Intel onboard graphics cards
(i815, i845 etc.). And so on SalixOS 13.37.
Tvtime starts and then disappears. This probably has to do with the KMS feature
Code: Select all
"Cannot allocate enough off-screen video memory."Reading a lot of postings in different Fora, but none of the indicated solutions really work.
So I was looking for a replacement for Tvtime and found 2 as a substitute.
XAWTV and Zapping, both are not in the repos or sourcery for SalixOS 13.37.
I opted then for Zapping (has a nicer GUI)
"Zapping is a TV viewer for the Gnome desktop. It runs on Linux Icon Linux, FreeBSD Icon FreeBSD and Solaris.
With Zapping and a TV card you can watch TV, take screenshots, and record video and audio.
Zapping has a deinterlacer and a Teletext viewer built in and supports Closed Caption
and Teletext subtitles. Got a remote control? Zapping supports LIRC too."
So I tried to compile and install it for SalixOS 13.37 Fluxbox:
Downloaded Source here: http://zapping.sourceforge.net/Zapping/index.html
Unzip in /usr/src/
installing libgnomeui 2.24.4-i486 from SalixOS-repos as a dependency, indicated during ./configure
installing linuxdoc-tools 0.9.66-i486 from SalixOS-repos as a dependency, indicated during ./configure
/usr/src/zapping# ./configure --without zvbi (prerequisite for viewing Teletext) as a quick & dirty testdrive
/usr/src/zapping# make
/usr/src/zapping# make install
$ zapping (having fun and tv now)
Dear Packagers, Maintainers and Developpers, is it possible to build a Zapping-package or write a building
script for the sourcery, if you can spend time on it?
It would be very nice and helpful , if we had a TV-App, that really works, without hacking and fumbling around.
N.B. Perhaps its already solved with a newer kernel in SalixOS 13.37 and later.
