Making it Work

Firmware

No firmware required.

Installing on Ubuntu Hardy with Mantis-Multiproto driver

Foreword

This has been tested the 28.11.2008. CAM/CI is not working with current mantis for me. I have a crash when scanning or zapping with the CAM inserted. Take the CAM module out if you have one for the moment!

Install mantis driver

cd /usr/src
sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis  
cd mantis
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Remote Control Support

RC works after applying the following patch. See [3]

NOTE: I wonder why this patch has not been merged into the trunk. Does it break anything?

CI support

CI/CAM support for the optional CI module is not working yet (2024-11-27)
