hi
I tried to use the gotox patch (thanks to Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik) for vdr 178 http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2009-June/020800.html
I have this scheme vdr with hvr4000 card ---> rotor ---->> 4x1 diseqc switch ---> LNB Ku band Linear + LNB Ku band Circular + LNB С band Circular
my diseqc.conf (for Ku circular) is
S36.0E 00000 V 10750 t v [E0 10 38 F4] W150 G v t S36.0E 99999 V 10750 t v [E0 10 38 F5] W150 G v t S36.0E 00000 H 10750 t V [E0 10 38 F6] W150 G V t S36.0E 99999 H 10750 t V [E0 10 38 F7] W150 G V t
but it seems something is wrong - I don't see anything
questions - how to log the diseqc command for more investigations ?

Does the dish turn? I wonder if the order of G and [E0 10 38 xx] switch command matters?
Have you enabled diseqc.conf usage from vdr lnb setup menu? You could set it to no as well to eliminate diseqc.conf for a while to just see if the dish is moving. I suppose it should because it's not behind the switch in your setup.

honestly - I don't know because the dish is on the roof of my home - I don't have access to it currently

have you ideas about how can I see in the log the disecs commands from vdr to dish ?

OK, that makes debugging more complicated.

I don't know of logging but it should be with your diseqc.conf as simple as:
tone on/off voltage 13/18 E0 10 38 xx wait 150 ms G becomes voltage 18 tone off wait 20ms EO 31 6E yy zz if repeated wait 20 ms E1 31 6E yy zz wait dish turn for 100 ms ... 100s (e.g.) tone on/off voltage 13/18
Did you have this working with some other vdr setup or set to box?

I connected the ampermeter for measure the current in dish cable and found out that no any problem with software - when I are moving between satellite the current is arising from 120 ma to 200-300 ma. But I don't have lock. I suppose that my dish installed not so correctly - that's why I should play with altitude and latitude. I will do.

no, I have only these logs

You can add dsyslog command to each point in dvbdevice.c where this ioctl with FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD is called (3 times) and print out the cmd buffer.
Better is to place syslog into frontend source of your card.
