Since the IOCTL is RW not R >#define DVBFE_GET_INFO _IOWR('o', 85, struct dvbfe_info) please explain why you have chosen a function named GET to SET internal state. if you are expecting driver developers amd application programmers to get confused then this is one way of achieving it. my statement regarding illogical still holds. BTW, the unmodded szap only worked for you because it queried the current state inadvertantly setting internal state before calling set_params without actually specifying the correct internal state. if an application does a query and sets state to DVB-S2 then decides to tune to DVB-S the internal state will be incorrect. cya -- // / {:)==={ Darron Broad <darron@xxxxxxxx> \\ \ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
