Problems with AF9015 DVB-T chip and Linpus.

Hi all, if this is not in the right section please feel free to move it.

I have A110L with Linpus 1.0.3E with the latest updates. I also have DVB-T USB adapter with AF9015 chip.

Drivers can be found here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/
And firmware here: http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af901 ... are_files/

For the driver download you need to install mercurial

Code:

sudo yum install mercurial

and run command

Code:

hg clone [url]http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/[/url]

after this go to the directory

Code:

cd af9015

install make

Code:

sudo yum install make

and start compile

Code:

make

Now I get error when trying to compile the drivers: "File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.23.91w/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 32, <IN> line 4."

Any advice how to continue from this? I think there is need for kernel sources or something like that, but how can I download them? Yum only has the latest kernel files which are for FC8 and might not work properly with linpus and acer optimizations?

Similar error case can be found here: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... ore_Errata

Acer kernel source codes can be found here: ftp://[email protected]/Aspire_O ... 23.9lw.zip
Those do not however have that build file to which the link they are talking about in linuxtv.org wiki.

 

I have same problem.
might it work if build driver in fedora8 and copy after building to aspire with firmware?

 

Compile Success !
I tried little different way from vpn how topic
http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=608
so with acer kernel source it compiled almosta one time
(got to make clean after those chmod lines)

Code:

w get [url]ftp://[email protected]/Aspire_One_Linpus_Linux/Aspire_One_Source/linux-2.6.23.9lw.zip[/url]
unzip -x linux-2.6.23.9lw.zip
sudo mv linux-2.6.23.9/ /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9 /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9lw
sudo cp /boot/config_080627 /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9lw/.config
sudo chmod 755 /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9/scripts/basic/fixdep
sudo chmod 755 /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9/scripts/mod/modpost

[url]http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015[/url] upper left corner download gz
cd /home/user/Download/
tar zxvf af9015-822d04ad4d57.tar.gz
cd af9015-822d04ad4d57af9015-822d04ad4d57.tar.gz
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo cp dvb-usb-af9015.fw /lib/firmware
sudo install xine-lib-extras-nonfree    (this must be done in terminal)

so now kaffeine scans and finds channels, but it didn't show tv, until I
installed xine-lib-extras-nonfree and xine-lib.
But after boot linpus desktop went blackwhite horizontal striped, so useless,
it fixed after I uninstalled kaffeine and kaffeine-lib (0.8.6).
I allready recovery whole aspire because of that and notice that problem is in
thos xine-lib-extras-nonfree or xine-lib (1.20) packages.
any suggestion ?

edit: updated "code" and works by kaffeine version 0.8.5

 

update, only installing 0.8.6 kaffeine and xine-lib 1.1.2 linpus desktop goes grayish, and won't work. so kaffeine 0.8.5 works only, but it won't show dvb-t picture...

 

Thanks for the info

 

solved !
installed from terminal,
sudo yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree
and now everything works, so kaffeine is version 0.8.5

 

bad news, kind of. now tv works very well, but lost standby, when closing lid screen goes black but power button is on green and fan just spin. opening lid do nothing. only forced shutdown from power button helps, maybe ctrl+alt+del combination.
I recovered again whole AA1, but trying to solve this standby problem.
