cx23885 driver

[montenis]

Good day,

recently i installed TBS6981 on my debian linux machine, and it works good. The situation is as follows - i've allso got "terratec cinergy t pcie dual" dvb-t/c card installed. When i install TBS driver, support for cubergy gets broken. As i looked into v4l sources provided by tbs, there is no support for the cinergy board, but recent v4l releases do have support for it. I have tryed to patch cx23885 module, but drxk and some other things allso needs to be pached. Maybe someone has the same situation ? I'm on kernel 3.4 btw.

Thanks !

Hi,

Did you get any solution to this problem?

I am having similar issues with a TBS 6922 DVB-S/S2 card. I have a CINERGY PCIe DUAL DVB-T card that worked perfectly with a 3.5.0-17-generic 64 bits kernel in an ubuntu 12.04.1 server. When I built TBS drivers and intalled them, they overwrited module cx23885.ko that was the one that controled CINERGY and TBS cards. I am thinking about modifying cx2388* sources and rename them in order to create a new module that only manages TBS card. I dont know if it would work but it is an idea...

Hi abondu
cx23885 driver is part of linux kernel. Try reinstalling debian's kernel and use your TBS6981 card. If all is ok, try installing your "terratec cinergy t pcie dual" dvb-t/c card and drivers for it.

Hi montenis, try the same.

Best regards.

SergioDanielG , i gave up, tbs drivers owerwrite v4l drivers. TBS should use new v4l sources , then it would work, but as i see they update only tbs part of the driver, and keep old v4l base. Kind of sad, this card ir really good...
