Driver for kernel 2.6.35?

[cody]

please, look here for more details:

https://shop.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=190

Fedora 14 and some kernels in Gentoo suffers from the problem. update will be provided to resolve it.

OK, when will the update be provided??

when i have the chance to prepare it. sorry, that it can't be faster, but since it happens only with Fedora and Gentoo and we don't have installations of those distributions in our lab, it's necessary to prepare first system on which the problem can be reproduced and that requires even extra time.

is there an interim solution, maybe with an another driver? in this state the device is useless for me.

Hi cody,

seems, that i could save you some time !

Problem probably solved, look here:

error:: implicit declaration of function 'kzalloc'
and
error:: implicit declaration of function 'kfree'
fixed by adding
#include <linux/slab.h> /* for kzalloc/kfree */
in
linux-tbs-all/v4l/cx25840-ir.c

'make all' runs (with some warnings):

everything seems to be OK, right??

I'm still waiting for my new LNB (should have been delivered today, but didn't).
I'll keep you informed!

[cody]

thanks, it definitely seems that "slab.h" was the problem.

[delli]

Hi cody,

got my new LNB today! Qbox2 works fine with kaffeine1.1-1.fc14x86_64 under Fedora64 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64. The only "problem" is, that radio takes more than 1 min. to start.

[cody]

The only "problem" is, that radio takes more than 1 min. to start.

hi, i guess you mean in Kaffeine when you chose digital radio station from the satellite it takes too much time to start - i haven't heard about such problem, but it should be Kaffeine bug or audio decoder bug, because Q-box doesn't distinguish between television and radio channel. i will test it here too.

Hi, I have a big problem.
I have compiled kernel 2.6.35.11 from source I compiled linux-tbs-all without problems (in compilation) but when I try to load the module it is what happen:

modprobe cx23885

So?? Why linux-tbs-all have invalid modules?

[Anyeos]

Hey! I tried with 2.6.34 and some kind of error:

Sorry TBS guys but I'm tired for trying to make my card to work. Are you serious with your business? If you dont plan to really support linux in this model (6920) please tell me because I have this card from 1 year right now and I never can use it. I tested a lot of configuration options in the kernel but never get it to work (video for linux 1, video for linux 2, video for linux 1 compat). So if you don't plan to make it work in Linux please seriously tell me so I can sell it and forget all about this card. I'm tired compiling kernel and modules with this card and was a waste of money and time for me.

see it:

WARNING ERRORS WARNING ERRORS WARNING ERRORS. LOL

I just solved a lot of that but always some new appears. I don't know really what kind of kernel I can download (not oldest please) to use this card.

It just taked my some like 20 hours (I'm awake from yesterday) testing and testing. I'm tired really guys.

Anyeos,

I had the problem you experienced:

modprobe cx23885

I solved this by removing all reference to DVB, V4L from my kernel and recompiling it, see menuconfig from my kernel below:

--- Multimedia support
*** Multimedia core support ***
[ ] Media Controller API (EXPERIMENTAL)
< > Video For Linux
< > DVB for Linux
*** Multimedia drivers ***
< > Remote Controller adapters --->

I think when you've got DVB and V4L compiled in your kernel you get conflicts when trying to use the modules you've built from the drivers provided by TBS.

I still can't get my card scanning though - I suspect a hardware problem so have arranged to return the card for replacement.

Regards,

Euge
