Now comes the best part: I found a linux driver on the producers web page. And it is written by ... Steven Toth :-) http://www.commell.com.tw/Product/Surveillance/MPX-885/mpx-885.rar I am looking at the files to see what they have changed (if anything at all). One thing I found pretty fast is that they added in cx23885-card.c: [CX23885_BOARD_MPX885] = { .name = "MPX-885", .porta = CX23885_ANALOG_VIDEO, .portb = CX23885_MPEG_ENCODER, .portc = CX23885_MPEG_DVB, .input = {{ .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPOSITE1, .vmux = CX25840_VIN1_CH1, .gpio0 = 0, }, { .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPOSITE2, .vmux = CX25840_VIN2_CH1, .gpio0 = 0, }, { .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPOSITE3, .vmux = CX25840_VIN3_CH1, .gpio0 = 0, }, { .type = CX23885_VMUX_COMPOSITE4, .vmux = CX25840_VIN4_CH1, .gpio0 = 0, } } Now, concerning the rest of the code, I'm afraid my knowledge is far below what is needed to understand just a little bit of it. I can try to compile the code, but they state it is for kernel 2.6.21, so I don't know whether it compiles for 2.6.31 (or newer). I can try to make a diff, but I guess there will be lots of changes between this rather old code and an actual cx23885 version. But maybe it is a start. What do you think?
