I set the cardtype to 5 YUAN MPG600/Kuroutoshikou iTVC16-STVLP because of the output of lspci (especially the iTVC16 part):

02:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

The output of dmesg | grep ivtv is now as following:

[ 23.952913] ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.1

I have no more I2C errors.

The output of dmesg | grep tuner is as following:

[ 24.607292] tuner 0-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (ivtv i2c driver #0)

I hope that these are the right settings for my tv card. What do you think?
How can I test this?

The ivtv driver doesn't know about this card.

These are the cards the ivtv driver knows about:
$ modinfo ivtv
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32.14-127.fc12.x86_64/kernel/drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv.ko
version: 1.4.1
[...]
parm: cardtype:Only use this option if your card is not detected properly.
Specify card type:
1 = WinTV PVR 250
2 = WinTV PVR 350
3 = WinTV PVR-150 or PVR-500
4 = AVerMedia M179
5 = YUAN MPG600/Kuroutoshikou iTVC16-STVLP
6 = YUAN MPG160/Kuroutoshikou iTVC15-STVLP
7 = YUAN PG600/DIAMONDMM PVR-550 (CX Falcon 2)
8 = Adaptec AVC-2410
9 = Adaptec AVC-2010
10 = NAGASE TRANSGEAR 5000TV
11 = AOpen VA2000MAX-STN6
12 = YUAN MPG600GR/Kuroutoshikou CX23416GYC-STVLP
13 = I/O Data GV-MVP/RX
14 = I/O Data GV-MVP/RX2E
15 = GOTVIEW PCI DVD
16 = GOTVIEW PCI DVD2 Deluxe
17 = Yuan MPC622
18 = Digital Cowboy DCT-MTVP1
19 = Yuan PG600V2/GotView PCI DVD Lite
20 = Club3D ZAP-TV1x01
21 = AverTV MCE 116 Plus
22 = ASUS Falcon2
23 = AverMedia PVR-150 Plus
24 = AverMedia EZMaker PCI Deluxe
25 = AverMedia M104 (not yet working)
26 = Buffalo PC-MV5L/PCI
27 = AVerMedia UltraTV 1500 MCE
0 = Autodetect (default)
-1 = Ignore this card
(array of int)


So you have two choices:

1. You can to try to specify a card with the "cardtype=" module
parameter.

Many of the designs from Taiwan manufacturers are the same, so I'm
guessing one of these card types will work for you:

Cards with older RF tuner assemblies (not likely in a laptop):
"Yuan PG600, Diamond PVR-550" cardtype=7
"GotView PCI DVD2 Deluxe" cardtype=16
"Yuan MPC622" cardtype=17

Cards with an XC3028/XC2028 RF tuner chip (needs xc3028.fw image):
"Yuan PG600-2, GotView PCI DVD Lite" cardtype=19
"Club3D ZAP-TV1x01" cardtype=20
"Buffalo PC-MV5L/PCI" cardtype=26

If you don't need the RF tuner, and only need CVBS or SVideo input, then
cardtype 7 is probably the safest to test with, as it doesn't try to set
any GPIO pins.


2. Add a new card entry in ivtv-cards.c and ivtv-driver.c and recompile
the ivtv module.

The new card entry will likely look very much like some existing card
entry. The hardest part is figuring out the proper GPIO pin settings
and tuner being used. Sometimes the Windows driver *.inf file has the
information, some times it doesn't.
