I'm not sure what yast did as I tried to get the card working, but it looks a bit messed up to me.. But it was able to load a driver and some modules, but I'm not able to unload the modules to get the v4l module compiled myself like you suggested (using these instuctions:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain%2C_Build_and_Install_V4L-
DVB_Device_Drivers). The modules "are in use" and i get errors while compiling..
Shall I try cleaning up a bit and remove the driver installed by yast, or do you see another way. Whats cx88_alsa here for?
Thanks

Looks good so far ;)

You need to get rid of all old media modules and have to replace them with current v4l-dvb stuff to have eventually a chance.

On top of mercurial v4l-dvb you can try make rmmod twice and make rminstall, don't bother to delete the complete media folder in your kernels /lib/modules... tree, with "make install" you will get it back. (does also depmod -a for the new modules)

If there should be modules left on unusual places, "modprobe -v" should show those, also any remaining options forced by yast, but I'm not on such currently.

If you did not make sure to unload all old modules previously, reboot.

Cheeers,
Hermann

I got rid of the old modules and compiled new ones:

--------------------------------------------------------

Then I checked the tuner. dmesg says:

firmware: requesting xc3028-v27.fw
xc2028 1-0061: Error: firmware xc3028-v27.fw not found.
saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.

--------------------

I then tried a procedure I found here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC3028/XC2028#How_to_Obtain_the_Firmware
but that didn't work for me.. just as it says here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCI_Cards
It all comes down to the tuner.. any ideas how to solve this issue? I downloaded the Windows drivers of the x3m hpc2000 and tried using the script "extract_xc3028.pl" on it, but it couldn't find "hcw85bda.sys".. so the script is limited to this file.. wish I knew how to rewrite this skript..

Oh almost forgot..
here you can get the x3m driver for windows:
http://x3mtv-tuners.com/support.php?m=drivers&id=3
I got the 64bit version and I think its "av88base.sys" that should have the correct firmware in it.
