Readme or other advice?

[LilumDaru]

Hi,

I got the TBS6922 Card working on Windows, but i would prefer it to use on Linux. My System is a Ubuntu 11.10 with newest updates.

I downloaded the file http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 120216.zip for the newest drivers, but i couln't find a readme-file for the 6922-card. (i unpacked the archiv.) I tried a few things, but it never worked. After the command "dmesg | grep dvb" in Terminnal nothing appered.

I also tried the readme located at: "/tbs-linux-drivers_v120216/linux-tbs-drivers/README" but i don't know whats the Module's Name to load. Is it right to use this readme anyway?

i hope you can help me

Yes, It's right. Use it.
And search saa7160 module or saa716x.

Best regards.

What does it mean? "lsmod | grep dvb" has a result, "dmesg | grep dvb" hasn't.

[SergioDanielG]

But TBS6922 haven't got a cx23885 chip, it's use a SAA7160ET chip. You need saa716x module.
Can you post "dmesg" output and "uname -a" output here?

Best regards

Hi,

dmesg: http://kerb2009.de.sh2082.evanzo-server ... eres/dmesg

thanks for your help!

[SergioDanielG]

Nothing about the card in dmesg, like it's not connected...
Please post the output of "sudo lspci -v"
Best regards.

( When run checkinstal, select "y"es to make doc package and change option 3 to something like 20120216, or other that start with a number.
The process fail to install .deb package becouse need to overwrite some files. Don't worry.)
# dpkg --force-overwrite -i linux-tbs_20120216-1_amd64.deb
(or the .deb package generated by checkinstall)
# shutdown -r now


If you have some errors or some warings, please, copy and post here.
Remember, if you upgrade the kernel, it overwrite this package and you need to compile aganin.
