I've got the sources, I've successfully built everything.
Where should I expect to have the binary files after the make install?

Thank you.

2012-01-10 Thread Mihai Dobrescu
Hello,

Just compiled the latest again, but still no difference.
kaffeine doesn't see any source in channels dialog, two devices are in
'Configure Television' dialog: DRXK DVB-C - device not connected - as
Device 1 and DRXK DVB-C DVB-T as Device 2. Concerning the last one, no
source is selected, as I am in Romania, which is not in the list
scan_w finds nothing.

What should I do next?

Regards, Mike.

Thank you.
So, there would be no success on Sabayon 7 64 bit having kernel version 3.1?
I would not rebuild all the kernel, just the media.
Does this suffice?

Hello,

I have Sabayon K 7 64bit and a Hauppauge 930C-HD.
I've cried for months that I can't make it work under linux.
I intend to watch dvb-c channels.
What should I do to make it work with the newly added support?

Thank you.

Winfast Dongle H support

2011-04-18 Thread Mihai Dobrescu
Hello,

I have Mandriva 2010.2 up to date and I try to install a Leadtek
Winfast Dongle H.
I couldn't make it run with the Mandriva provided v4l modules and
drivers, so I have built v4l from the scratch. The build process
performed wonderfully, but I could not find any channel.
The same dongle works perfectly on a Windows 7, so the signal is not
the problem.

I need help to diagnose further or a hint if someone know what is
special about this card.

Thanks,
Mike
