For all those DViCO FusionHDTV5 Gold testers out there, full analog &
digital support (v4l + dvb) has been merged into 2.6.13-mm2 ... If you'd
like to test this implementation, please feel free, and let me know if
anything acts strangely for you. All you need is kernel sources for
this, no need to install new stuff from CVS, unless you are experiencing
the noise bug, outlined below.
Please note:
There is one more FusionHDTV5 Gold related patch still in video4linux
cvs that has not yet been sent upstream. I have attached this patch to
this email. Here is a short description of the changes that I made
here, and the reason why:
[BUG] upon frontend initialization when module is first loaded, there
is an extremely annoying noise produced by the analog tuner.
This noise goes away once the analog tuner is used to change to a
channel, -OR- once the digital tuner is used to scan / zap (thanks to
Mac Michaels)
Here's what I changed in the patch below:
In hunk #1, I removed the check for tda9887. This is unnecessary
because TUNER_SET_STANDBY is now part of the v4l tuner API, and it is
safe to be called, regardless of what tuner is actually present. This
makes no change in behavior.
Hunk #2 contains the bug fix... I added an additional call to
TUNER_SET_STANDBY, immediately after frontend initialization. Doing
this has completely fixed the noise problem that I have experienced.
This TUNER_SET_STANDBY call has also been added to cx88 dev init, but as
the frontend is initialized after cx88 init, the tuner comes out of
standby, just in time to pierce my eardrums. SO, the cx88 device init
standby call doesn't help in the case of FusionHDTV5 Gold.
When I first tested FusionHDTV5 a while back, I didnt have this problem
at all.... Since then, I've installed alsa-utils, and added the mixer
restore functionality to my default runlevel.... Ever since then, now
that the mixer resets the volume at startup, I get this noise... It
seems that I am the only one to experience this noise, none of the other
FusionHDTV5 Gold testers have complained about this yet... I wonder
why... Anyway, it's fixed now.
Please, dont complain to us about the noise bug in -mm without trying
the attached patch. If, however, you still get some noise after
applying it, that is the sort of thing that I'd like to hear about.
This patch applies against 2.6.13-mm2 , and it is already present in
video4linux cvs. Comments are welcome.
