I've tried disabling every driver that wouldn't compile and eventually got to some videobuf thing that wouldn't compile. Even tried with 3.7.4.

Basically it's well beyond me to get this working on 3.7.

Kernel:

Code: Select All Code

$ uname -r
3.7.3-1-ARCH


lspci_log

compile.log

Any help appreciated.

I got a reply to my email which i sent to the support. A quick workaround is to disable the iptv driver from being built. You can do this by running 'make menuconfig' before trying to build the driver and disabling Conexant cx23416/cx23415 MPEG encoder/decoder support. Multimedia support ---> Video ...

Yes it's a shame.

The hardware seems really good but this is the first and last time I will be buying any pc parts without a driver in mainline kernel.

Thanks for the input but I have no idea which .config things to change.

I'll just have to wait for an updated package from tbs.

ARGH. I forgot how annoying these drivers can be as it's been a year since any problems.

I'm having problems compiling the driver for kernel 3.6.2 x86_64 Arch Linux. Everything is going fine until i get to this CC [M] /home/hda/tmp/tbs-linux-drivers_v120827/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/ivtv-routing.o CC [M] /home/hda/tmp/tbs-linux-drivers_v120827/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/ivtv-cards.o CC [M] /home...

Any idea when this will be working with the 3.2 kernel?

Would just like to post that the linux-tbs-drivers_111017.zip from the download page are working for me on Arch Linux x86_64 with kernel version 3.0.6-2.

The problem is about the directory permissions. The directory don't have the x permissiosn, so as a non root user, you are not allowed to recurse in them. When you do a chmod -R u+rwX . in the unpacked directory, you can do a make. Ha. Thanks. Can't believe I didn't notice the lack of x permission ...

The problems is the files aren't owned by anyone. If you look in my first post I cannot list the linux or v4l directories properly. There is just loads of ? where you should see permisions and owners. The first thing I tried to do was chown the files but I couldn't. I had to change to root to do any...
