DiSEqC not working on dvb budget cards?

I didn't get any complaint and don't have a nova myself but the following report sounds like it would hit 10.0 as well. A patch for this is in the dvb-kernel cvs. Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 15:34:49 +0100 From: Oliver Endriss <o.endriss@gmx.de> To: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: [linux-dvb] NOVA-S only working with HZ=1000 User-Agent: KMail/1.6.2 Reply-To: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Maximilian Engelhardt wrote: > I have a NOVA-S that was running just fine with all kernels <=2.6.12. > Starting with 2.6.13 it suddenly stopped working.

I also created some debug output from stv0299 with a > HZ=250, HZ=250 + patch and a HZ=1000 (=working) kernel. [2] You are using DiSEqC. Does it help if you change .flags = 0, to .flags = SAA7146_I2C_SHORT_DELAY, in "static struct saa7146_extension budget_extension" (budget-ci.c)?

May very well be. The frontend driver uses jiffies based timing thoroughout, as does above-mentioned saa7146_i2c.c :-( I'm surprised it works on anything else than HZ==100. " timeout = jiffies + HZ/100 + 1; /* 10ms */ "
Is this still valid for openSUSE 11.0?
I have no idea. I neither have a NOVA-S myself nor do I use DiSEqC
