The one in dvb-kernel/ was enhanced and developed further by Florian
Schirmer. You'll have to check it out using:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel
$ cd dvb-kernel/
now you'll have to apply the bt878 patches in directory
linux/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/patches/ to your kernel source, then
enable bttv video4linux support and rebuild+install your kernel.
Now, for 2.4 kernels:
$ cd build-2.4/
$ make clean && ./getlinks && make
to load the drivers:
$ ./insmod.sh
please report any occuring problems,
good luck,
I followed this instructions, but encountered some problems now.
In the insmod.sh script the driver for the pinnacle is missing.
Therefore I've loaded it with: insmod dvb-bt8xx.o debug=1
What I get then is (in /var/log/messages):
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: dvb_bt8xx: enumerating availible bttv
cards...
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: dvb_bt8xx: identified card0 as Pinnacle
PCTV DVB-S
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Pinnacle
PCTV DVB-S).
While this seems to be not bad, the problem is that there is no frontend
driver loaded. I had a look in the DVB driver on the
experimental-pinnacle branch. There a module cx24110.o is loaded to
communicate with the tuner. I didn't found a replacement for this in the
dvb-kernel driver. What is the correct module to communicate with the
tuber of the pinnacle tv-sat card?
arrgh, right -- Peter wanted to port this driver a while ago but it
seems as if he didn't finished this yet, probably due to lack of time.
If you want to do so, the required changes are pretty straightforward
and you can use any of the other frontend drivers as reference...
