Hi yet again,

I checked the source, and it seems the patch I found (http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&m=122416362902362&w=2) had indeed not yet been committed to the tree.  I applied it to my updated source and reinstalled v4l.  The following devices now appear:

/dev/audio1
/dev/dsp1
/dev/dvb/adapter0
/dev/mixer1
/dev/ptmx

I have no idea if they are functional!  I tried running xine, but I am unfamiliar with it, so I don't know if there is a problem in the driver, or if it is a PEBKAC.

What is the preferred testing strategy?


Thanks,

-BobC
