All,
I am a Linux newbie trying to install a PCTV 73eSE DVB-T receiver, but the driver apparently does not get loaded.
These are the 'cookbook' steps I followed:
-Fresh Ubuntu 9.10 distribution installed.
-kernel upgraded to 2.6.31-20-generic (using Ubuntu upgrade tool)
-Mercurial installed
-V4L-DVB kernel modules downloaded (source)
-make (screen output attached)
-make install
-reboot (with the DVB-T USB dongle attached during boot)
Outcome:
-There is no /dev/dvb directory
-/proc/modules does not list any relevant reference to the PCTV 73eSE USB dongle (apparently the correct driver for that should be the DIB0700 driver)
Looking at the mailing list, there is some history on the PCTV 73eSE device: apparently this was originally owned by Pinnacle; the same device can have 2 different manuf ID's. Posts on the list (nov / dec 2009) point out that corrections have been done to support both manuf ID's.
The relevant lsusb -v output is:

The vendor ID in my case apparently is 0x2013. I am able to find back this ID in the source files (but I am not a programmer), so it looks as if this is not the reason why the driver doens't get loaded. Nevertheless, the 'automagic' part of udev seems to have abandoned me:)
Any idea's to proceed on this?
Thanks in advance,
Luc Boschmans.

Updating/Creating .config
Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.31
***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.
If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.
Vanilla kernels are available at http://kernel.org.
On most distros, this will compile a newly downloaded kernel:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` <your kernel dir>/.config
cd <your kernel dir>
make all modules_install install
Please see your distro's web site for instructions to build a new kernel.
