<para>As the video/audio devices become more complicated it
|
|
becomes harder to debug problems. When this ioctl is called the driver
|
|
will output the current device status to the kernel log. This is
|
|
particular useful when dealing with problems like no sound, no video
|
|
and incorrectly tuned channels. Also many modern devices autodetect
|
|
video and audio standards and this ioctl will report what the device
|
|
thinks what the standard is. Mismatches may give an indication where
|
|
the problem is.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This ioctl is optional and not all drivers support it. It
|
|
was introduced in Linux 2.6.15.</para>
