[linux-dvb] VIDEO_GET_EVENT + VIDEO_GET_SIZE

2003-09-11 Thread Andreas Oberritter
Hi, I just implemented these ioctls for the AViA chip set. There is no "aspect ratio changed" or "resolution changed" interrupt, so I abused a "displaying first I-frame" interrupt for video size events, which polls the status registers. Some questions came up while coding: - Imaging two programs

[linux-dvb] "new" VES1893 & VES1993, please test on pci cards with alps bsrv2

2003-09-11 Thread Andreas Oberritter
Hi, attached is a unified driver for VES1893 and VES1993 based frontends for ttpci cards and nokia/sagem dbox2 boards. It is intended to be a replacement for the alps_bsrv2.c dvb-s frontend driver of the "dvb-kernel" cvs module. I can not test it on a pci card due to lack of hardware but it has be

Hello Wolfgang, Is it broken again? I´m a bit astonished that nobody seems to be trying to fix the bugs in dvb-kernel for kernel versions < 2.4.20. You're welcome. 8-D I tried for myself, but with no success :-(( (Ok: 2.4.19 works for ttpci, but not for ttusb.) Ok, bad luck. Shouldn´t this comp
