Hi Ben.

I do it exactly as you wrote. But i used the latest dvb-kernel cvs-sources.
Maybe this is why you cant find the mt352-module?

Look here:
http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/fro
ntends/mt352.c?rev=1.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Hope that helps a bit.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Can you explain what the order of patching was? I am presuming you went:

1. Unpack 2.6.7 kernel
2. Download and apply dvb-kernel makelinks script (is this correct? What
version of dvb-kernel?)
3. Apply the bytesex patch
4. Configure and build kernel

I am assuming step 2 - I ran 1 then 3 and realised that there was no
"Zarlink MT352 based" option in the Digital Video Broadcasting Devices
section of the kernel?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi All...

I managed it to work partially. Now i can tune and everything works fine...
I used the patch on a 2.6.7 gentoo kernel:

http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.7-1/

applied the patch-2.6.7-kraxel.gz - Archive to that Kernel. Now bttv realize
that right card. Tuning works nice except one small thing:
I can tune any frequencies, except 177500000(VHF) and 191500000(VHF). If i
try i get following:

***
using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
tuning to 191500000 Hz

|
***

The frequencies 506000000 and above all working fine. The card should also
able to tune on the VeryHiFrequencies (VHF) it looks to me that only the
UHV-Band is used in the driver.

Any idea!? I dunno if its right in the linuxtv-mailinglist, i could imagine
that this is some bug elsewhere!? Im not sure...

Thanks alot for any help.
Time to bed now, since i fizzle around with that the whole night... =)

Regards,
Andreas

Hello List.

Hours ago i also bought such AverMedia 771 and try to get it to work with my
gentoo Box. Im using a 2.6.6 Kernel. This is my second card in this pc. I
have a technotrend up and running and want to give a dual-dvb a try. It
seems that i cant load the mt352 module.

This is a part of dmesg after loading the relevant modules:

****
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.14 loaded

***

I miss the line
bttv0: i2c: checking for MT352 @ ... or am i wrong here?

I get an error while im loading the mt352 module. But i cant find it in
dmesg anymore... ;( I repost once i find it.

The patch that is applied in this thread wont work for me, maybe its already
in cvs since im using the today's grab from it.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for help,
Andreas

I'm using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7

I have 2004-06-18 I guess. This version needs a patch I send to this list
but I don't know if it's in cvs or not. I attached it to this mail, it
should fix tuning problems (at least it does for me).
