[linux-dvb] Re: dvbd

["maroi" <obycho@o2.pl>]

maybe that`s my big problem
because when I run dumpee I see
./dumpee
VIDIOCGCAP /dev/video0: Operation not permitted

yes I`m using dvbd3a from the patch. with patch 9f there is no tainted
modules, and no warnings.

and on ls .. I see only this
ls -l /dev/video
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 paź 29 15:34 /dev/video ->
/dev/ost/video0
(paź this in 8859-2 and this means october)

my modules.conf looks like this :
alias char-major-89         i2c-dev
options i2c-core            i2c_debug=0
alias char-major-81         videodev
alias char-major-81-0       dvb
alias char-major-81-224     dvb
alias char-major-249        dvb
alias char-major-250        dvb
alias char-major-251        dvb
alias char-major-252        dvb
alias char-major-253        dvb
alias char-major-254        dvb
alias dvb0                  dvb
alias dev/ost/*             dvb
options saa7146_core        buffers=2 debug=0
options saa7146_v4l         debug=0
options sp5659              debug=0
options tsa5059             debug=0
options ves1893             debug=0
options ves1820             debug=0
options stv0299b            debug=0
options cs4341              debug=0
options ee24lc16            debug=0 ignore_range=-1,0x51,0x57
options dvb                 init_chan=3 debug=0
above saa7146_core          saa7146_v4l
pre-remove saa7146_core     modprobe -r saa7146_v4l
post-remove dvb             modprobe -r ee24lc16; modprobe -r stv0299b; \
                            modprobe -r ves1820; modprobe -r ves1893; \
                            modprobe -r tsa5059; modprobe -r sp5659

so what should I do to make that videodev work ?

ps. about that 2.4.18 from 8.1 kit. Not even 2.4.18 but latest 2.4.19 kernel
source from slackware distribution or ftp is weird. On both when I was
trying to run my dvb drivers there was a lot of unresolved symbols. Although
the source from kernel.org is working perfectly.
