Re: 3rd posting: em28xx: new board id [1f4d:1abe]

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>]

Hi Ronald,

Well, probably nobody knows what to do with that ;)

If I understood well your post, video didn't work, right?

So, either you or someone else with the same hardware as you have would
need to make it work and send a patch to the mailing list adding support
for this new ID.

Probably, it is just either a GPIO or the video input that it is wrong.
In order to fix it, you would either need some help from the manufacturer
or to sniff the USB message exchanges from the original driver and check
the settings for saa7113 and em28xx. The wiki has some info about how
to do it.

Regards,
Mauro
