Dear all,
I'm struggling with my Hauppauge budget USB box. I'm trying to use it with SuSE 9.1 (uname -r = 2.6.4-52-smp). Having read that the 2.6 kernel has built-in dvb support, I tried it straight out of the box. It didn't hotplug correctly (the light at the front of the box lit up orange). I rebooted to coldplug. This time the light went green. An "lsmod" revealed that dvb_core and dbv_ttusb_budget loaded.
However, a quick test with tzap gave the following error:
ERROR: failed opening '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' no such device.
This kind of makes sense because the coldplugger clearly hasn't loaded a front-end driver. I presume that the frontend drivers aren't built ino the kernel?
So, I built the dvb driver that is given with the SuSE9.1 dist. Then used the insmod.sh script, safe in the knowledge that it won't load the same module twice. None of the front-end drivers that loaded seemed to work - ie they were reported as not in use. Does the front-end need to be pre-loaded before dvb_core? Is the depmod not working this out correctly?
I then went back to hotplugging, so that I have some control over the order in which modules are loaded. This didn't fix the problem really - in fact it seems to make things slightly worse. So, I'm a bit stuck. Should I try to construct the dependencies manually so that coldplugging will load a front-end driver? If so, how do I do that?
Alternatively, maybe the front-end driver is not the cause of the above error message from tzap? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA Marc
