What config options are most likely to generate ioctl (VIDIOCGCHAN): Inv arg error?
Question
I have installed kernel 2.6.14.3 and compiled it to also support my
SAA7134 (
FlyVideo3000) card. I'm also fairly sure that the modprobe that was passed with card=2 tuner=17 are correct.
I've tried input settings from 1 thru 8 with no success and ffmpeg is installed.
Any thoughts?

What is the value for input parameter in your motion.conf ? ( It should be 0,1 or 2 )

I recompiled the kernel and set modprobe.conf to select the card as card=2 and tuner=42. This seems to have corrected the original problem (by giving it the correct values). I must admit to being new to playing with
V4L, but am not a novice linux user ~Not exactly admin material either btw). I have an X10 wireless video camera's reception point connected via the Cable bnc connection. And the Channel is set to :
#Channel 3 61.25MHz according to a google search
frequency=61250
# Given in KHz per the config instructions
Yet, I still don't get a signal to the application. I have verified that the camera and station work by conneting to a TV first. The card appears to be the only hinderance. If there is a good
V4L tutorial/how-to that you know of, please post, so I (and others in a similar predicament) can look there as well.
