Having made a clean install of Mageia 3, I ran through the requirements for installing the tbs-6280 drivers:
1) Ensured the kernel headers / source were installed.
2) uname -a returned 3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3
3) from linux-tbs-drivers:
a) ran # rm -rf /lib/modules/3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3/kernel/drivers/media/
b) then: # ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh, Noted positive response.
c) ran: make
d) ran: make install
e) ren: shutdown -r now
On return, the TV card failed to show up in demsg and the drivers failed to appear in lsmod.
What could be causing this?
