Hi, Further to my last message (about 2.6.6-rc1 vs 2.6.6), I've narrowed the problem down to a new ioctl case handler (FE_GET_TUNE_SETTINGS) in sp887x.c. By commenting that out, everything starts working again. Is this a problem with the implementation of FE_GET_TUNE_SETTINGS, or of whatever code uses that ioctl? Cheers, Marty. --- sp887x.c.old 2004-06-01 22:50:06.334919371 +0930 +++ sp887x.c 2004-06-01 22:41:05.061451829 +0930 @@ -631,18 +631,20 @@ } /* enable TS output and interface pins */ sp887x_writereg(fe, 0xc18, 0x00d); break; +#if 0 case FE_GET_TUNE_SETTINGS: { struct dvb_frontend_tune_settings* fesettings = (struct dvb_frontend_tune_settings*) arg; fesettings->min_delay_ms = 50; fesettings->step_size = 0; fesettings->max_drift = 0; return 0; } +#endif default: return -EOPNOTSUPP; }; Mike Harris wrote: Hi, I've just bought a new AverTV DVB-T card. I configured & compiled Kernel 2.6.6 appropriately. The modules seem to go in OK & recognize the card & the firmware is downloaded OK.

Come to think of it the ber & unc don't look valid either. Any ideas? Dud card maybe? I don't have a win32 box to try it out on. Or maybe the HW has changed? Regards // Mike |
