thanx for clarifiying that issue. why it would mention the cx23888 is beyound me. -------------------------------------------- On line 60 it mentions "" XC3028+23417, MT2131+LG3303 "" at the end of the line but i have no idea what it means the cx23417 is an encoder and the lg3303 is a vsb/qam reciever. --------------------------------------------- The merlinC.rom has some thing to do with the audio as mentioned in the inf file line numbers 648 and 649 ""; Merlin Rev. C audio firmware "" ""merlinC.rom "" I thought maybe the cx416enc.rom was the firmware but i might be wrong. How do you remove firmware from a *.sys file. what should its name be so the drivers can find it. i know i goes in the /lib/firmware directory ----------------------------------------------- Also if i load the driver with the option card=4 $ sudo modprobe -v cx23885 card=4 i get this as the dmesg output $ dmesg | grep "cx" [ 2184.687447] cx23885 driver version 0.0.1 loaded [ 2184.687514] CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 1461:d439, board: DViCO FusionHDTV5 Express [card=4,insmod option] [ 2184.787753] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 0 registered [ 2184.787906] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 1 registered [ 2184.787957] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 2 registered [ 2184.814898] cx23885[0]: cx23885 based dvb card [ 2184.815360] DVB: registering new adapter (cx23885[0]) [ 2184.815538] cx23885_dev_checkrevision() Hardware revision = 0xb1 [ 2184.815549] cx23885[0]/0: found at 0000:03:00.0, rev: 15, irq: 17, latency: 0, mmio: 0x93000000 but if i try any of the other card=1 options: $ sudo modprobe -v cx23885 card=1 i get this as my dmesg output: $ dmesg | grep "cx" [ 2617.106716] cx23885 driver version 0.0.1 loaded [ 2617.106779] CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 1461:d439, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1800lp [card=1,insmod option] [ 2617.207017] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 0 registered [ 2617.207172] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 1 registered [ 2617.207322] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 2 registered [ 2617.234336] cx23885[0]: warning: unknown hauppauge model #0 [ 2617.234337] cx23885[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=0 [ 2617.234338] cx23885[0]: cx23885 based dvb card [ 2617.265140] cx23885[0]: frontend initialization failed [ 2617.265144] cx23885_dvb_register() dvb_register failed err = -1 [ 2617.265147] cx23885_dev_setup() Failed to register dvb adapters on VID_C [ 2617.265152] cx23885_dev_checkrevision() Hardware revision = 0xb1 [ 2617.265158] cx23885[0]/0: found at 0000:03:00.0, rev: 15, irq: 17, latency: 0, mmio: 0x93000000 card=2: $ sudo modprobe -v cx23885 card=2 dmesg output $ dmesg | grep "cx" [ 2799.798252] cx23885 driver version 0.0.1 loaded [ 2799.798322] CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 1461:d439, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1800 [card=2,insmod option] [ 2799.958512] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 0 registered [ 2799.958671] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 1 registered [ 2799.958729] cx23885[0]: i2c bus 2 registered [ 2799.985743] cx23885[0]: warning: unknown hauppauge model #0 [ 2799.985746] cx23885[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=0 [ 2799.985791] cx23885[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2] [ 2799.985797] cx23885[0]: cx23885 based dvb card [ 2799.986279] cx23885[0]: frontend initialization failed [ 2799.986282] cx23885_dvb_register() dvb_register failed err = -1 [ 2799.986284] cx23885_dev_setup() Failed to register dvb adapters on VID_C [ 2799.986290] cx23885_dev_checkrevision() Hardware revision = 0xb1 [ 2799.986297] cx23885[0]/0: found at 0000:03:00.0, rev: 15, irq: 17, latency: 0, mmio: 0x93000000 and soforth for the rest of them. would the firmware for the ""card=4 -> DViCO FusionHDTV5 Express"" work and which firmware would it be. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
