Hello
!
I'm having a problem with an Artec T1 (it's a USB DVB-T box) and a laptop running slackware 12. The problem is thst I can't get slackware 12 (nor Slax 6) to work with the Artec T1. In fact, it refuses to even attempt to load the modules even though they exist. I have the correct firmware installed in /lib/firmware.
Oddly enough an installation of Slamd64 (That's a 64-bit version of SW12) seems to work with the Artec T1!
For the life of me, I cannot work out what exactly the difference is. From googling I found out that the Artec T1 apparently has faulty USB IDs and needs a kernel option enabled, mentioned here;
http://linux-eyecandy.org/misc/howto...sb-dvb-t.shtml
This is the kernel configuration section I'm referring to;
Code:
# Supported USB Adapters
#
CONFIG_DVB_USB=m
# CONFIG_DVB_USB_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_DVB_USB_A800=m
CONFIG_DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MB=m
# CONFIG_DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MB_FAULTY is not set
I'm guessing that the last line there needs to be set, instead of "is not set", I am guessing that this line refers to faulty USB IDs for the Artec.
I tried to find out by googling if slackware 12 has this set or not and from what I could find out it dosen't appear to be set. I also checked Slamd64, I have a .config file in /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.8 and oddly it appears not be set as above though I don't know if that .config file was really the same config file that would have originally been used to compile the kernel.
The strange thing is that neither Slackware 12 (nor slax) even attempts to load any drivers, however Slamd64 does (there's a green light on the Artec T1 USB -- it remains off in Slackware and slax, but is lit in Slamd64). So I'm trying to work out just what's different between the two! Am I right in thinking this is a kernel config problem?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
