Hello Torgair,
What do you mean by dvb-support? Using dvb-kernel cvs code or
video4linux snapshot?
Like it's said under http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/build.html
" kernel 2.6.x already has everything included. Just enable the config
options you need (i2c, video4linux and the actual driver), compile your
kernel and you are done."
Ok, it's a bit misleading. Maybe kernel version 2.6.12 or even 2.6.11
might be useful. Get a video4linux snapshot and build in addition with
make DVB=1; make install, then reboot. If cx88-blackbird is loaded
instead og cx88-dvb, then a quick rmmod cx88-blackbird; modprobe cx88-
dvb is necessary.
If proper /dev nodes are not created, then you need an udev fix as well,
but get the modules compiled and loaded first.
When building a very recent video4linux snapshot, you might need to
replace a constant PCI_D0 with 0 in bttv-driver.c line 3992 to get it to
compile cleanly under kernel 2.6.10.
To avoid gettng the cx88-blackbird module getting loaded automatically,
comment out the lines that contain that module name
in /lib/modules/2.6.10/modules.alias. The problem is that they have the
same pci ids.
On Mandrake 10.1, 2.6.11-rc1 and video4linux snapshot 24th. Jan, I
couldn't get udev to create the devices even after upgrading to
udev-0.50. Going back to 2.6.10 and snapshot 21st. Jan., everything is
fine. We shall see what happens on later 2.6.11-rc and the final.
