Hi Manu, hi everybody interested, Can you please spend some time and please review this code - it's worth it! Trying to download cx878 as tar.bz2 still results in a file with zero length, but that does not hurt, as gz works fine. 1. Procedures: a. copied the contents of cx878 into the current Mercurial tree's folder called /usr/src/v4l-dvb-4214538d8a33/linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx after having deleted its original contents b. applied the following patch (no confrontation with Mike, but my card does not need the pll library as a matter of fact): --- a/linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/Kconfig +++ a/linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/Kconfig @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ config DVB_BT8XX tristate "BT8xx based PCI cards" depends on DVB_CORE && PCI && I2C && VIDEO_BT848 - select DVB_PLL + select DVB_PLL if !DVB_FE_CUSTOMIZE select DVB_MT352 if !DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE select DVB_SP887X if !DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE select DVB_NXT6000 if !DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE --- a/linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/cx878_budget.c +++ a/linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/cx878_budget.c @@ -1,12 +1,11 @@ #include "cx878_common.h" #include "cx878_budget.h" #include "cx878_priv.h" - #include "sp887x.h" #include "mt352.h" #include "zl10353.h" #include "lgdt330x.h" -#include "lgh06xf.h" +#include "dvb-pll.h" #include "nxt6000.h" #include "or51211.h" #include "cx24110.h" c. produced the following .config: #

Results: a. All drivers are being loaded fine without any unresolved symbols b. Starting the application I can hear the Pinnacle SAT relay klick I guess the five lines starting with "WARNING" are the key why nothing works as expected: No video, no sound, as there are obviously functions missing that have not been defined yet. Yours sincerely Uwe P. S.: If you need dmesg, lsmod or any other further info please ask me. Looking hopefully forward for your response... -- "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
