Ouups your update was faster then expected
Testing your updated package right now.
[/EDIT]

Just one more question:
I wonder which minimum driver config is required to get the TBS 6618 DVB-C card (and IR) running.
Could you post a ".config"?

Again, thanks for the quick 2.9.X fix.

Cheers,
Bjoern

Okay, tested the new driver and it works as long as I do not strip it down to the bare minimum.

If I do that (see attached config), I have to apply my littel patch to

Code: Select All Code

linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/isl6423.h

There is a "," missing after "*config":

Code: Select All Code

static inline struct dvb_frontend *isl6423_attach(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
                                                  struct i2c_adapter *i2c,
                                                  const struct isl6423_config *config
                                                  int nr)

should be:

Code: Select All Code

static inline struct dvb_frontend *isl6423_attach(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
                                                  struct i2c_adapter *i2c,
                                                  const struct isl6423_config *config,
                                                  int nr)

Besides this I seem to miss something important as with the attached config, the card seems not to work.

These drivers get automatically loaded when I do not temper with the .config vie menuconfig:

I tired to remove everything except those drivers (well including the unused IR decoders - just keeping MCE and LIRC decoders)

This is what I get:

This seems not sufficient to get the cards running (at least mythv keeps telling me all decoders are busy)

What about multiPLP support? Patch from CrazyCat works for me, but what about official drivers?

@bolausson

if you get the frontend initialized then enough of the drivers are installed and then the problem is somewhere else - you can test your card with 'czap' and 'scan' and then if it works with the simple tools proceed.

Hi.. I have installed last week Ubuntu 13.04 64bit and my tbs6981 stop to work..
Before I have 12.10 and work fine..
Now with kernel 3.8.0.19 and driver 130506 don't work.

With dmesg | grep frontend I receive this log

dmesg | grep frontend
[ 10.801035] videobuf_dvb: disagrees about version of symbol dvb_frontend_detach
[ 10.801037] videobuf_dvb: Unknown symbol dvb_frontend_detach (err -22)

[ 10.801054] videobuf_dvb: Unknown symbol dvb_register_frontend (err -22)

The make macro and install ends with no errors..

You can help me?
Thank you

Try this,

sudo make rmmod
sudo make rminstall
sudo make install
sudo reboot

disagrees about version of symbol dvb_register_frontend usually means that its still got some of the old drivers in there.

When do
sudo make rmmod command
I receive the errors above

I try to execute the other command but after reboot I still have the same problems of the last post..

You can help me again?
Thank

[updatelee]

you have unmet dependencies, mainly the perl module ProcessTable, in ubuntu you type this

sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl

If you dont do alot of compiling you might want to use this,

sudo apt-get install mercurial build-essential linux-headers-generic ncurses-dev libproc-processtable-perl

Just to make sure youve got everything.

Hi..

nothing change. I've follow your all instruction.. I've recompile driver too.. but nothing

The same error with dmesg and with make rmmod..

Any ideas?

Thanks
