Hi, I have a laptop with a braodcom crystalhd accelerator board. On such laptop with openSUSE 12.1 I was able to use mplayer to play video using such accelerator board. With openSUSE 12.2 it is not possible anymore. The reason mplayer fails is that the device file /dev/crystalhd is missing. In 12.1 it was created when the module crystalhd was loaded, in 12.2 it is not.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
I have found where the problem is. The staging kernel module in 12.2 only support the 70012 model and I have the 70015 one. The kernel module in 12.1 is based on a more recent version of the broadcom driver that supports both devices.
Right, broadcom-crystalhd-kmp was dropped from 12.2 as we thought that the staging driver in the kernel is updated enough, but obviously a wrong assumption. The upstream staging tree should be updated, too.
Yes, please, it would be great if someone could send me a patch that updates the upstream kernel driver version to the latest, having it go out of sync is not good. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
