Actually, looking at the errors you're getting they're not in the sections I tweaked by hand, so I suspect it's either * The phpBB has mangled the patch * CR/LF versus LF endings getting altered during either my paste or your copy * You've applied v1 of the patch and are now trying to apply v2 on to...

I've temporarily moved the card into a different PC (to test it on a physical machine rather than a virtual machine) so I did have to manually reconstruct that patch from a mixture of versions, sorry about that. However those particular files that failed to patch aren't actually part of the TBS6981 ...

Here's v2 of my patch, please note I haven't made any effort to make it apply to multiple kernel versions, only to 2.6.38.2 This works for me, but if your machine hangs at bootup then try adding cx23885.blacklist=yes to your kernel command line and and then load it manually using insmod /lib/modules...

The problem when running scandvb before turned out to be a Xen issue (no DMA transfers due to missing iommu=soft on kernel command line), so I now have a working TBS6981 under 2.6.38.2 (Fedora15 nightly) :lol: :lol: :lol: >>> tune to: 12285:v:0:27500 DiSEqC: switch pos 0, 13V, hiband (index 2) >>> t...

OK, a few more tweaks changing functions from int to long and removing inode parameters and I have a driver that will load and go through the motions of a scan without crashing using scandvb -v -a 2 /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E it doesn't actually find any channels though, just semi-meaning...

Hmm, maybe I didn't rmmod/modprobe/insmod the old and new drivers in the correct sequence, things look better after a reboot :o [ 6.325490] pcifront pci-0: Installing PCI frontend [ 6.325669] pcifront pci-0: Creating PCI Frontend Bus 0000:00 [ 6.325835] pci 0000:00:00.0: [1131:7130] type 0 class 0x0...

Well, I installed the new drivers, and as anticipated they don't work yet # insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38.2-9.fc15.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.38.2-9.fc15.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in m...

Attached is a patch to be applied between untarring the source and building the driver extract the source from linux-s2api-tbs6980_1.tar.bz2 as per normal instructions cd /root/TBS6981/linux-s2api-tbs6980_1 (or whatever your build folder is) patch -p0 <tbs6981-2.6.38.2-v1.patch then run the v4l/tbs-...

I'm a new owner of a TBS6981 and need to install it under Fedora15 (alpha/beta release), this is actually a Xen virtual machine with PCI passthrough of two DVB-T tuners and my new DVB-S2 card, the PCI devices are all visible OK and the DVB-T device functions properly in a virtual machine, the mainli...
