[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nexus-s and dvb-driver 1.1.0 problem

[Achim Löbbert <aloebbert@gmx.de>]

Hello!

I happily used a Hauppauge Nexus-s Rev. 2.2 card for more than year,
until I upgraded my Debian system from woody to unstable. After that
the DVB-s board is no longer found and the xawtv screen stays blank.

First I tried the Debian package dvb-driver-source 1.0.1-6 which made
my system freeze. After googling I followed the recommendation to
download Linux DVB driver release 1.1.0 from http://linuxtv.org.
It compiles nicely, but when loading the drivers with insmod.sh I get:

Feb  9 13:08:18: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Feb  9 13:08:19: saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'.
Feb  9 13:08:19: saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.
Feb  9 13:08:19: saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb /w video in'.
Feb  9 13:08:19: usb.c: registered new driver Technotrend/Hauppauge USB-Nova
Feb  9 13:08:19: usb.c: registered new driver ttusb-dec

After ./insmod.sh, lsmod tells me:

I then downloaded, compiled and tried linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0:

> ./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra ZDF

Here is the output when it used to work with self-compiled driver
0.9.4.20020803-3 under woody:

Jan 19 18:26:46: dvb: 1 dvb(s) found!

The Debian kernel 2.4.24 did not change, nor it's configuration.
Kernel 2.6 is currently not an option because of LVM problems :-{

Unfortunately I cannot use the old driver any more since the v4l
interface of vdr and other applications has changed. I know that the
hardware configuration is ok and did not change since long.

I went through all the READMEs and archives, but am completely stuck.
Any help would be appreciated.

Achim
