How to get MSI Megasky 580 (gl861) to work?

Hello Everyone,

For weeks I've been trying to get my gl861-based Megasky to work. With no luck at all unfortunately. Right now I'm on a Ubuntu 6.10 (x86-server) and I'm located in Sweden. I've tried both freshly compiled 2.6.18.6 and 2.6.19.1 kernels with the ~mkrufky/megasky repository. For some reason it won't compile because of a lacking config.h file in the newer kernels. Anyway that was "solved" using a dummy one.

It all seem good when looking in dmesg, modules get loaded and dvb-devices are created. However, when trying to scan for channels it doesn't seem to find anything, it says it can't lock.

Then I found a message from Antti Palosaari about a patch for the QT1010-tuner. I applied the patch to the megasky-directory and recompiled. Again it compiled and I installed the new modules and rebooted. This time dmesg revealed the foolowing:

[ 23.465673] dvb-usb: found a 'MSI Mega Sky 55801 DVB-T USB2.0' in warm state. [ 23.465726] dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer. [ 23.467174] DVB: registering new adapter (MSI Mega Sky 55801 DVB-T USB2.0).
[   23.502392] DVB: registering frontend 0 (Zarlink ZL10353 DVB-T)...
[   23.546652] DVB: Unable to find symbol qt1010_attach()
[ 23.546662] dvb-usb: MSI Mega Sky 55801 DVB-T USB2.0 successfully initialized and connected.
[   23.548527] usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_gl861

The line about qt1010_attach() didn't look so good and now kaffeine can't even find the device? Seems like a dead end here...

Could someone who got this device working help me, please. What kind of system are you running? Maybe a brief walk-through on how to set things up and compile etc? Please!

Regards,
Daniel
