[linux-dvb] Re: help, please?

["gyao" <gyao@wisecom.mailbox.ma>]

  Thank you very much for the help Wolfgang Wershofen! :))))) Really you 
gave a great hand ! I was almost getting discouraged.
   It is working now!! it is great!!
   Just one more thing. Does someone knows if vncserver messes with the 
satellite card ? Because after I did what Wolfgang Wershofen suggested it 
was still not working and by luck I turned off the vncserver. After that the 
satellite card worked. I turned it on and the satellite didn' t work. Weird!
    Thank you Denis for the tip of the patch but it is OK if it doesn't show 
the signal  if it is working. If I need I will apply it later. 

regards,
Wei Yao Gharib
