How do I load the driver (module) for my DVB card?

  • I've just installed yaVDR 0.3 and selected to install the updated drivers (linuxtv.org).


    The kernel module that I need to load is dvb-usb-gp8psk.ko. For some reason it wasn't automatically loaded so what's the best way to have this module automatically loaded before VDR starts?


    Thanks,
    John

  • /etc/modules


    Maybe there is a conflict with another module - then blacklisting that module is the key.
    Maybe the firmware is missing...


    It would be easier to help if you provide more information, like:

    • Name of Card/vendor
    • Distribution you are using
    • Kernel (uname -r)
    • lsusb -v
    • lsmod
    • dmesg | grep dvb
    • dmesg | grep firmware

  • Hmmm... I've added dvb_dvb_gp8psk to my /etc/modules but VDR isn't detecting it.


    Does VDR load BEFORE /etc/modules is read?


    The module does appear in lsmod but VDR says "no DVB device detected".

  • I think the Genpix Skywalker-2 (09c0:0206) is not supported by your current DVB driver. I checked the file dvb_usb_ids.h in my sources and i cannot find the product id 0206. Maybe this
    is the problem.


    Best regards

  • try stopping vdr

    Code
    cd /etc/init.d
    sudo ./vdr stop


    and then manually insmod the correct module

    Code
    insmod dvb-usb-gp8psk


    you should have that nodes at

    Code
    /dev/dvb/
    
    
    ./adapter0:
    demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0



    also look at /var/log/syslog
    if you can find suitable infos


    maybe it is not supported like TheChief said... :rolleyes:
