I am able to get this card going in Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop (Dell Vostro 1700) with no changes apart from copying the correct firmware. What fantastic progress. :) I have been trying very hard to get this USB tuner to work on my Asus M3A78-EM board in Ubuntu 9.04 with no success. I have tried the stock Jaunty kernel, the mainline (vanilla?) kernel, the included kernel modules, and modules compiled from v4l Mercurial with no success. Generally speaking, after a cold boot, the stick will work for a while. It will scan channels, lock one or two, and then I will receive a filter timeout. Once the filter has timed out, not even a cold boot will revive the stick. I have to power down the system, remove the stick, and place it in a different USB port. Once I have done this, I am able to filter/lock with varying degrees of success. Sometimes it will allow me to generate a full channels.conf, sometimes not. However, once hitting the "filter timeout" error, dmesg gets flooded with: --- s5h1411_writereg: writereg error 0x19 0xf5 0x0000, ret == 0) dib0700: i2c write error (status = -108) --- The filter timeout occurs after running "scan tuning.dat > channels.conf" The file tuning.dat is generated via "w_scan -fa -x > tuning.dat" The firmware dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw was copied to /lib/firmware per the v4l Wiki instructions. lspci of working system: http://pastebin.com/f31efd30a lspci of non-working system: http://pastebin.com/fa80c2f7 Is there something major I'm overlooking? Are there any known issues with this hardware combination? I am willing to test any changes to the xc5000 driver if needed. Thanks!
