Ok, once again i try to collect what i did, i changed 3 files, although 2 would probably do: required (dvb-kernel): frontend.h (make FE_SLEEP public to be able to call it via ioctl) requried (vdr): dvbdevice.c (calls FE_SLEEP, it did not work when the FE_INIT was never called, we need to FE_INIT and after that call FE_SLEEP to make it work) not sure (dvb-kernel): ves1x93.c (mainly debug-output to see if it works plus one register-change which alone did not make it work, as far as i remember) Attached are the diff's of the changes i made. Of course you cannot use the patches when you use a dish, it is only good for signalless operation. (Obsessively using playmode switches+OSD occasionally arm-crashs anyway, sigh) Hope it fixes your problems. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
