When will the TBS 6981 work with ArchLinux 3.2.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 26 08:40:20 CET 2012 x86_64 distribution.

Currently tried tbs drivers V111118 but they will not build, following are my steps...


[[email protected] media_build]# uname -a
Linux tv-server 3.2.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 26 08:40:20 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
[[email protected] media_build]# uname -r
3.2.2-1-ARCH
[[email protected] media_build]# ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
TBS drivers configured for x86_64 platform.
[[email protected] media_build]# make

this is when it goes wrong on build...

I have tried on ubuntu 10.04, 11.04 & 11.10 32-bit all OK just does not work on Archlinux???
cheers

I don't know exactly, but the problen is with kernel 3.2.x
TBS published a new version yesterday, download and try it: http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 120212.zip
I'm using this driver with kernel 3.2.0-1-amd64 in Debian.

Best regards

Tried to upgrade to the latest kernel 3.5, but latest driver won't compile. It can't find a function called 'err'.
I had to revert to the old kernel 3.2.

Im sure youve figured this out already but here goes

sudo make clean
sudo v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
sudo make
sudo make install

compiles fine on 3.5 for me w/ubuntu 12.04

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

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi hda.
Can you try sending an email to [email protected] and including this error?
I think this is a problem between the driver and new kernel, but in euro_support can confirm it (or not) and solve it.
Best regards.

Kmap functions have changed in recent kernels, you can either patch it your self, Google it took find lots of threads, or just don't compile that module.

make menuconfig
Or
nano .config

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 not a huge fan of the fact is a separate tree either, if much rather a set of patches.

I've thought about supporting the tbs stuff and making my own patch set but they didn't make it easy with precompiled .o files that do trivial things, shame they couldn't just do the entire thing opensrc.

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.
