I tested recently with folks on forum.suse.pl a patch[1] for some dvb-t tuner, which is available at http://istvanv.users.sourceforge.net/v4l/xc4000.html I made kernel[2] with it and users reported it works fine (with addition firmware, of course). And now I have a question, is there a way to push it upstream while I'm not an author of this patch?
You should really reach out to the author first.
In fact it looks like he is sumitting patches to upstream: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2011-March/032821.html
Perhaps you could build a version of the openSUSE kernel with those patches applied and see if everything still works for you.
Cheers,
Brandon kernel-desktop with this patch was built yesterday and it's available for openSUSE 11.4 in my home repo @ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Fisiu:/xc4000/openSUSE_11.4/
I don't have a dvb-t card to test it myself but some guy from forum.suse.pl confirmed that it works fine. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member
