I'll keep it short...
-Has anyone got the remote control to work on the Conexant based Nova T card?
I have found precious little about setting up this small detail, thanks in advance.

I've only go and done it!!!
Using the latest gentoo-dev-sources and the latest V4L snapshot including the cx88 driver from Bytesex.org, the remote shows up under /dev//input/event. The buttons are not configured properly yet, but who cares? That's just a little step now.
I could not get this thing to work properly under 2.6.9 for love nor money.
Will post more details, if required, when I finish the myth setup and its running smoothly.
Excellent! |

Well all that I can say is Bollocks
I think I was a little premature in thinking that I had it cracked. The remote does work with 2.6.10r4, but the dvb part does not-yet. I have tried using a 2.6.10r2 patch from bytesex.org, but that has not helped. I think I'll have to try installing and compiling sources for 2.6.10r3 (latest bytesex patch, as of today) and see if that will help.
With 2.6.9r13, the dvb part works, but the kernel drivers do not appear to have ir support for this card in the modules.
Though I could be wrong.... maybe there are others that have both parts of the tv card working smoothly - at the same time. |

OK
It genuinely looks like I have it working now.
The kernel is 2.6.10 -r4
I have downloaded the latest snapshot and kernel patch from bytesex and compiled the v4l drivers.
However, to get the drivers to load in the correct manner, there seems to be a script, called update. I went into this file and uncommented the cx88dvb module and commented out the saa7134 (because that wouldn't load)
I now have an event device and tzap tunes and locks on. Hopefully- if I get some time over the weekend, I'll make some further checks to see if it is functioning correctly.

I'd quite like some help just getting the tuner part to work with Gentoo. I'm having very little luck getting it running. I've tried loads of different kernels but none of them seem to want to play ball.
The problem seems to be coming from the frontend, in /var/log/messages I'm getting
| Code: | Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:00:0f.2, rev: 5, irq: 10, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe3000000
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]: The frontend of your DVB/ATSC card isn't supported yet
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]: you might want to look out for patches here:
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]: http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88[0]: frontend initialization failed
Mar 22 21:25:04 roo cx88-dvb: probe of 0000:00:0f.2 failed with error -1 |
randomfactor - could you briefly post the steps you did to patch your kernel, what modules you enabled, what order (if it matters) that you loaded the modules, etc.?
cheers,
Martin |

OK, have also some (good) news.
My remote control is also working. Installed lirc with this in /etc/make.conf:
| Code: | | LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge" |
And enabled the EVENT device in the kernel configuration.
After recompiling the kernel you only have to load the apropriate modules (for my Hauppauge DVBs these are the following)
| Code: | i2c-dev
i2c-algo-pcf
lirc-dev
lirc-i2c (this is very needed) |
and finally say the hardware, which codes stands for which keys
| Code: | | /usr/sbin/av7110_loadkeys /etc/hauppauge_grey.rc5 > /proc/av7110_ir |
And then, you can use the remote control on the command line or in every application, that is focused (Try to use the up and down button in your browser)  (OK, I know, this would never be useful)
You also have a new event device in your /dev/input/ and you can link the remote-plugin of the vdr on it.
- configure vdr to load the module
- configure the module to use /dev/input/eventX
And everything will work fine.
