Return to INSTALL CVS log

Up to [DVB] / DVB

the new HEAD

Configuration:

- Make sure that the kernel sources of the kernel you are using (NOT the
  sources of some other kernel) are in the directory /usr/src/linux.
  Otherwise, change the path for KERNEL_LOCATION in DVB/driver/Makefile.
  Note that the configuration of the driver sources also has to match that
  of the kernel you are running.
  You have to have the i2c and videodev drivers enabled in your kernel
  to use the DVB driver.

- Login as root, change to the directory DVB/driver and type "make".

- If everything compiled without errors, type "make insmod" to install
  the modules.
  During the installation of the modules your PC can "hang" for one or
  two seconds. This happens during the loading of the ARM application
  ("firmware") into the DRAM of the AV7110 and is normal.
  You should also see a picture of Pro7 on the composite output now
  (only if you have an LNB pointing on Astra 1e connected to the antenna   
   input of course).
  If you do not get a picture this might be the fault of a still unresolved
  timing problem on some hardware. But the driver should still work with the
  tuxzap application.

- Change to DVB/libdvb and type "make"

- Now change to DVB/apps/tuxzap and read the instructions

- The tuxzap package contains several gtk applications for DVB-S reception
  read the instructions in the apps/tuxzap directory for more information
  Sample config files for the tuxzap applications are in DVB/apps/
  copy them to .dvbrc.
