I don't care much, but please don't change the voltage setting in the inittab, because it breaks support for the ves1893 and ves1993 on the other (non-pci) boards, where the gpio pins toggled by this register have a different meaning. If you decide to set the voltage of all frontends to 13V at open(), then checking for O_RDWR should be sufficient to decide, because only one writer is allowed. However, I don't like that idea. It makes it impossible to stay at 0V, when the frontend is connected to a loop through output of another receiver, which shall not be disturbed. Userspace apps can choose the desired voltage anyway after opening the device. Regards, Andreas -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
