As soon Well I wouldn't be afraid even from this kind of testing - I think I have enough skills for this. If you have some pieces of chip docs you could pass to me... > I have redone the driver a few times by now, trying to handle the different aspects. > There have been some discussions on this ML also, on the same a while back. Actually I've done some search through the list and I've found this: It looks like there are actually 3 different drivers for Afatech chip: (and look quite different) 1.) on from you: http://jusst.de/hg (last commit before 7 weeks) 2.) another from Antti Palosaari (crope) 3.) by afatech ?? http://af.zsolttech.com/ by Rick Huang Which leads me to the question - is it actually coordinated somehow? What is the plan - which driver will go to kernel ?? (IMHO the current situation looks a bit weird at this moment) And when you are say you are working on some driver - by this you mean only af901x ? (So I could try those other two if they will not work by some miracle) Or when you release your code my AverTV HX will work out-of-the-box? (with the support for SAA and TDA chips) Regards Zdenek _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
