Relevant configuration:
        2.1.129 kernel
        #9GXEPro PCI (S3 964 based).
        Teppro TV Tuner/Video Capture TEV560.

I am installing a TV tuner, and so far I sorted most
problems. I have two issues unresolved:

1) The sound volume control has no effect, and the mute (A) key
works in reverse. I tried all card types and tuner types and
so far I found card=3 to work best, and tuner type=1 gives
best sound.

2) I cannot use the framebuffer, which should produce the best
performance (if I understood it right).

Starting xawtv (which causes the modules to load) fails to
locate the linear framebuffer (see messages below).

Specifying "options bttv vidmem=0xf30" does not help, the
result is that overlay mode is accepted but now I get a
black screen (with good sound).

Note that X11 says "Linear FB @ 0x00000000" but later it
also says "Local bus LAW is 0xF3000000". If I use the S3
driver "MemBase 0xf3000000" option then the last message
changes to "Local bus LAW is 0xF30xxxxx" but I still get
a black screen.


The messages at xawtv startup are:
