Hi All,

I've recently acquired a AverMedia Hybrid NanoExpress tv tuner and I'm trying to get it working with Fedora 13 and Fedora 12.

I've found drivers at http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa716x/

On f12 the driver build and install, but I have missing symbols when I try to modprobe the drivers.

On f13 the drivers fail to build.

I've tried contacting Manu Abraham (whom I believe is the developer) about the f12 issues, but haven't heard back.

I've searched google for everything from saa716x, AverMedia Hybrid Nano Express, HC82 and 1461:0555 (the pci address, I guess). There's bits and pieces about this driver in the results, but most are that they can build the driver, but it doesn't work.

I'm happy to 'risk' my card and try stuff to get this to work, but I'm curious about whether or not development is ongoing and how I can help (not being a c coder)

I'll attach the output of the build attempt on f13 in case someone can advise what is going wrong. The build log was captured using:

$ make &> /tmp/saa716x.build.log.f13

regards

Rodd

Hi,

Quoted 7 lines · Rodd Clarkson

Hi All,
I've recently acquired a AverMedia Hybrid NanoExpress tv tuner and I'm trying to get it working with Fedora 13 and Fedora 12.
I've found drivers at http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa716x/

Quoted 7 lines

On f12 the driver build and install, but I have missing symbols when I try to modprobe the drivers.
On f13 the drivers fail to build.
I've tried contacting Manu Abraham (whom I believe is the developer) about the f12 issues, but haven't heard back.

I searched through my email, but was unable to find your email. Maybe I happened to miss your email somehow.

I've searched google for everything from saa716x, AverMedia Hybrid Nano Express, HC82 and 1461:0555 (the pci address, I guess). There's bits and pieces about this driver in the results, but most are that they can build the driver, but it doesn't work.

Quoted 9 lines

I'm happy to 'risk' my card and try stuff to get this to work, but I'm curious about whether or not development is ongoing and how I can help (not being a c coder)
I'll attach the output of the build attempt on f13 in case someone can advise what is going wrong. The build log was captured using:
$ make &> /tmp/saa716x.build.log.f13

I switched to using a 2.6.31 kernel for the development, with regards to the logs that you have attached, it looks that the recent IR related changes are in conflict. It would be more productive on my side to focus on the development of the driver, rather than to keep switching, till I have something that is consumable for the end user.

With regards to Fedora 12, maybe that you have some module not loaded/not built, so that you see those missing symbols.

Regards,
Manu
