I think you just need to hack around this problem, Peter once wrote to me in a private mail: On Sun, Mar 13, 2005 at 02:56:04PM +0100, Kenneth Aaflxy wrote: > I'm trying to figure out why a user cannot lock after the patch for > diseqc_send_burst went into cvs, but I do not have the datasheet this frontend > so my work only becomes guesswork.

No. The point is, when I created the patch for the missing SEND_BURST ioctl, I had no way to check whether it works. The cx24110 chip is maybe too intelligent for the current API, there is no way I kow of to tell it "send a burst". So I set it up to do a full LNC start, only without a DiSEqC message (set Bit 2 of register 0x77). According to the datasheet, the chip will then: - turn off the continuous tone - switch the LNC voltage if required - SKIP the sending of DiSEqC messages - delay ~15 ms - send a tone burst of 12.5ms - delay ~15ms - turn on the continuous tone if required Generally, if I understand it right, this should be not very different from the sequence when using DiSEqC and Tone Burst in one setup, except that the continuous tone may get switched on after Send_Diseqc and then switched off again by Send_Burst. However, as I said before, I did not test this due to lack of equipment. To fix this up correctly, I would need to have both the burst bit and the DiSEqC message available at the time the LNC is set up. But since these are separate API calls, I cannot rely on them both being called, nor on the sequence in which they may be called by all the applications out there.
