TBS6980 drivers incompatible with Ubuntu

[nhathaway]

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, and the kernel version is 2.6.32-25-generic-pae. I have a TBS6980 for satellite and a Hauppage USB device for terrestrial (Freeview).

I do the make and make install as instructed, which proceeds without error.

I reboot and I get this in the dmesg:

which shows that it's still using the old driver.

and the USB driver for the Hauupage device fails to load. It used to load and work before installing the TBS9680 driver.

if I do this:

Incidentally, if I do

sudo insmod linux-s2api-tbs6980/v4l/tbs6980fe.ko

there are no error messages.

it seems to me for some reason in your Ubuntu 10.04 system the kernel modules from TBS driver package weren't installed. so, do i understand right and if you do:

Code: Select All Code

sudo rmmod cx23885
sudo insmod linux-s2api-tbs6980/v4l/tbs6980fe.ko
sudo insmod linux-s2api-tbs6980/v4l/cx23885.ko

then the driver loads successfully?

I found the problem. I needed to do 'update-initramfs -u'. In order to get the adaptors to be in the same order every time (i.e. for the mapping to be the same from one reboot to the next) I had to put the PCI card driver in the initramfs.

The problem I have is that each time Ubuntu goes and updates its kernel, it just messes up and loses the TBS drivers. Do you know if there is some way of preventing this? (other than never allowing an update)

Hey,

How did you EVER made running? Could you please (anyone) take my hand and step by step explain how to make it running? PLEASE... I'm struggling for 2 days now

[mk78]

I fighted with this card yesterday until 5 am and found THIS.
I rebooted the system many times after making these things step by step, but no jpy, so I went to bed. Today, I turned on the machine, and typed dmesg |grep cx and... IT'S WORKING! No idea, why it didn't wanted in the morning, but now it is!
