First off I'd like to point out that I had considerable success with fw 1.20 and the drivers that I tested on mid-November. At the time, the driver had the issues with the repeating remote control messages. Since the update (I think November 16th) I have not been able to get a stable build, suffering from the i2c problem. My test environment consists of 2 different VIA Epia boards (SP8000 and CN10000). I have both a PCI Nova-T 500 2040:9950 and a USB stick Nova-TD 2040:5200 which are dibcom devices. I also have a Hauppauge Nova-T PCI (cx88xx) and a Kworld 399U dual tuner USB stick 1b80:e399 (af9015). The build is a scripted build of gentoo, built as a livecd (which means it is very repeatable). The snapshot of gentoo portage dates from 20081028 which gives me a 2.6.25 kernel. I'm using gentoo-sources so I get 2.6.25-gentoo-r7. In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I am testing remote control functionality using lirc. This is using devinput and allows me to abstract the key bindings for different applications. What else can I tell you? _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
