I don't use the cinergyT2 module with the Pinnacle device. The v4l-dvb drivers I found on the ubuntu forum contains a separate driver for the PCTV200e. What I was trying to say is that both drivers trigger the same oops, in case of the PCTV it originates in dvb-usb.ko and in case of the cinergy in cinergyT2.ko >> Today I found a patch sent to this list on 01/20/2008 by Michele >> Scorcia.

Hope so too, as I stated in my reply to the 'Tester wanted ...' thread it works good except the signal recognition is very poor compared to the old driver. > >> >> Here's the patch I use, only difference to the one from Michele Scorcia >> are the line numbers: >> > Please post this patch in an email with [PATCH] in subject and with the Signed-off-by: name <email> line so that maintainers get aware of the patch, and don't miss it. > See: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_submit_patches Thanks for the hint, will do that :) > > Thanks > Thierry REgrads Ingo PEukes _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
