(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmix Version: 1.90 (KDE 2.0) Severity: normal Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) OS: Linux 2.2.16 i686 (compiled sources) Config: I have two devices which kmix can manage: es1371 & msp3400. Both are compiled as kernel modules. the first one is always present when KDE starts up so kmix can always find this device. msp3400 is part of my tv card and only loaded on demand i.e. when I start a tv app. Problem: Since kmix starts with KDE most of the time the msp3400 module is not loaded so kmix does not find and configure this device. Later when I start TV app kmix apparantly has to be completely restarted in order to mix this device I found no way of adding this device on the fly (File/New does not give me msp3400 to select.)
Changing severity to "wishlist" as this problem could easily be worked around by loading the "msp3400" driver on boot. Hint: An easy way to implement this except by a "rescan" menu item that quits and restarts kmix completely. Chris
This wish is open since about 3 years. As I said, the problem can be worked around easily and I do not think I will ever put support for this in KMix. Closing bug, category "WONTFIX". Chris
Hotplugging is implemented in KMix in KDE3 => need to change resolution code.
Fixed in KDE4
