I am looking at getting a DVB-T tuner.
A local shop recommended the PCI-E Leadtek Winfast
PxDTV2300H card for use with linux. I have visited
LinuxTV.org to check for support, but this card is
not listed.

Googling for "PxDTV2300 H" and "linux driver" has
not been successful, making the search more open
results in lots of pages relating to windows with
this card, and a linux advertisement in the side-bar.

Has anyone got this card running?
Where might I start looking for drivers?

I'm happy to get the Power Pack version of Mandriva
if this is the solution.

Thanks for all help
Chris Roy-Smith

configuring it for use on my x86_64 2008.0 system. So far it works quite
well, but i have one problem i just cant figure out how to address. During
boot i see the message about starting the HAL and then it prints a dot every
few seconds, 30-40 seconds later it says Build Failed code 10. I searched var
log, checked dmesg and cant find any HAL messages at all. I'm 99%% sure that
there is something i need to turn on or off in the kernel config that solves
this, any ideas?
Thanks
Eric

I would like it to open with Gwenview.
I checkmarked the little box that says
"remember app. association for this type of file".
while in gwenview but showfoto keeps opening up.
Any idea's why ???

guest but I cannot seem to get hold of the correct driver under Linux.
CUPS doesn't list it under Mandriva 2008.1 and nothing I download seems to
help. Can anyone help?

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different

OK

Seems the properties on my Download folder have been set so that only
root can use it. Anybody know how I can change this so that I, as the
only user, can save files to it?

(I have previously saved stuff to the folder, don't know what I've
changed to muck things up)

but I've searched all over and can't find the solution anywhere.

I'm trying to install the package libgtk+2.0_0-devel which I need for
something else, using MCC.

I keep getting the following set of errors, and I'd appreciate it if
someone could tell me what I've screwed up!

card is 7900GT.

Installed Mandriva One Spring 2008 onto the system hard drive from the
CD without problems, all the updates downloaded and installed, system is
current. System runs fine, but only seems to see 1GB of memory instead
of the 2GB installed. XP installed on a different hard drive sees 2GB.

Is there any reason would only see 1GB?

TIA

the files is .avi, but I'm not sure of the format - probably Divx. Is
there something available for Mandriva 2008.1 that will let me shrink
those files just a little so they'll fit? I wouldn't mind losing a few
minutes of credits on the end of each file, or I could change the
bitrate a bit. I'd rather use a single app, but I'm flexible enough to
use multiples if necessary. Since I'm not a command line kind of guy
anymore, I'd rather have something with a gui interface, if possible -
and in English would be nice.

Any ideas?

For few days, my both Ctrl keys don't work. When I press the Ctrl
keys, nothing happened (no copy paste possible, I can't close firefox
tabs. But Ctrl Alt F1 works.....

I'm using a french keyboard (Spyker) (http://www.spyker-france.com/
gamme5/produit_details.php?id=77&catid=5)
My driver is:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection


I just have to restart X and hen it works... On Xp or Fedora there is
no problem....
