-Note: "modinfo <module>" prints various information about a kernel
-module, among them a complete and up-to-date list of insmod options.
-This list tends to be outdated because it is updated manually ...
-
-==========================================================================
-
-bttv.o
- the bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
-
- insmod args:
- card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
- tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
- radio=0/1 card supports radio
- pll=0/1/2 pll settings
- 0: don't use PLL
- 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
- 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
-
- triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
- vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
- see README.quirks for details on these two.
-
- bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
- Default is native endian.
- fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
- needs this, for others it only generates
- 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
- autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
- default is 1 (on).
- bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
- looking at the hardware). default is 1.
- bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
- default is 0 (off).
- irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
- default is 0 (off).
- gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
- default is 4.
- gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
- maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
- no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
- are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
- are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
- push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
- by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
- With this insmod option you can override this.
- no_overlay=1 Disable overlay. It should be used by broken
- hardware that doesn't support PCI2PCI direct
- transfers.
- automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
- no TV signal, on by default. You might try
- to disable this if you have bad input signal
- quality which leading to unwanted sound
- dropouts.
- chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
- adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
- i2c_udelay= Allow reduce I2C speed. Default is 5 usecs
- (meaning 66,67 Kbps). The default is the
- maximum supported speed by kernel bitbang
- algorithm. You may use lower numbers, if I2C
- messages are lost (16 is known to work on
- all supported cards).
-
- bttv_gpio=0/1
- gpiomask=
- audioall=
- audiomux=
- See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
-
- remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
- (for multiple boards).
-
-tuner.o
- The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
- with a camera or external tuner ...
-
- insmod args:
- debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
- type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
- see CARDLIST for a complete list.
- pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
- only, important for the audio carrier).
-
-tvaudio.o
- new, experimental module which is supported to provide a single
- driver for all simple i2c audio control chips (tda/tea*).
-
- insmod args:
- tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
- tda9840 = 1 various chips.
- tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
- tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
- tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
- tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
- tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
- tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
- pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
- the wrong one.
- debug = 1 print debug messages
-
- insmod args for tda9874a:
- tda9874a_SIF=1/2 select sound IF input pin (1 or 2)
- (default is pin 1)
- tda9874a_AMSEL=0/1 auto-mute select for NICAM (default=0)
- Please read note 3 below!
- tda9874a_STD=n select TV sound standard (0..8):
- 0 - A2, B/G
- 1 - A2, M (Korea)
- 2 - A2, D/K (1)
- 3 - A2, D/K (2)
- 4 - A2, D/K (3)
- 5 - NICAM, I
- 6 - NICAM, B/G
- 7 - NICAM, D/K (default)
- 8 - NICAM, L
-
- Note 1: tda9874a supports both tda9874h (old) and tda9874a (new) chips.
- Note 2: tda9874h/a and tda9875 (which is supported separately by
- tda9875.o) use the same i2c address so both modules should not be
- used at the same time.
- Note 3: Using tda9874a_AMSEL option depends on your TV card design!
- AMSEL=0: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
- and the sound on 1st carrier (i.e. FM mono or AM).
- AMSEL=1: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
- and the analog mono input (MONOIN pin).
- If tda9874a decoder on your card has MONOIN pin not connected, then
- use only tda9874_AMSEL=0 or don't specify this option at all.
- For example:
- card=65 (FlyVideo 2000S) - set AMSEL=1 or AMSEL=0
- card=72 (Prolink PV-BT878P rev.9B) - set AMSEL=0 only
-
-msp3400.o
- The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
- stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
-
- insmod args:
- debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
- 2 is more verbose.
- simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
- msp34xx versions support this. You need this
- for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
- the chip.
- once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
- every few seconds, but only once after
- channel switches.
- amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
- should improve things for french people, the
- carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
-
-tea6300.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
- The driver for the tea6300 fader chip. If you have a stereo
- card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
- one. This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
- Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).
-
- insmod args:
- debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
-
-tda8425.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
- The driver for the tda8425 fader chip. This driver used to be
- part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
- anymore, try loading this module.
-
- insmod args:
- debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
-
-tda985x.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
- The driver for the tda9850/55 audio chips.
-
- insmod args:
- debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
- chip=9850/9855 set the chip type.
