    tda9887 driver (for Hauppage WinTV 1100 card) on openSuSe 10.2

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to get WinTV HVR 1100 TV based on the Conexant chipset
    running on openSuSE 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18.2-34). For now, there is no
    DVB-T signal, so I'm trying to get analog TV working.

    After checking http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_HVR_1100 I have found
    out that I need tda9887 driver. However, this driver is not coming
    with openSuSe 10.2

    I have only:
    tda10021.ko
    tda1004x.ko
    tda8083.ko
    tda7432.ko
    tda9840.ko
    tda9875.ko

    I have installed kernel sources (openSuSe rpm) and tda9887.c is there:
    /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/tda9887.c

    However, I'm struggling how to enable it. I have tried
    make xconfig
    but I have not found any option to compile tda9887.c.

    grep -i tda /boot/config-2.6.18.2-34-default
    gives me:

    CONFIG_DVB_TDA8083=m
    CONFIG_DVB_TDA1004X=m
    CONFIG_DVB_TDA10021=m

    How can I get tda9887.c compiled? Can you please help me out? I would
    prefer to enable it using make xconfig

    Thanks a lot!
    Jiri

    I found this on another page about getting the 1100 to work:

    make /dev/dvb/apdatper0 and then in there either copy dvb0.demux0 dvb0.dvr0 dvb0.frontend0 and dvb0.net0 from the /dev folder (if you use the stock kernel they should be there) and rename them to demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0 or create symlinks in /dev/dvb/apdatper0 to point to the files in /dev naming the links to demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0, and make sure you chmod them to 666


    Here's where it came from:

    I don't have this card or I would test it. Hopefully this fixes it for you.
