Thankyou MKrufky!

On #v4l...

The strange thing is that the cx8800 drivers are already part of the SuSE 10.2 distro, autodetected as such, but no /dev/dvb
...
harvest316: modprobe cx88-dvb
AWESOME!
:-D
thank you *very* much, mkrufky!
so do I have to do that at each bootup, or will it remember it now?
no problem at all, harvest316
it will not remember
you can either get the new version of the drivers, which has that issue resolved
or
add cx88-dvb to your init scripts.... that's dependant on your distro, and i dont know how suse does it
okay. I'm sure I can find that out.
you might have /etc/rc.modules
worst case scenario, you can add 'modprobe cx88-dvb' to /etc/rc.local
but thats not the cleanest way
but who cares?
where might I find the new version of cx88-dvb? I notice it's not accessible via YaST.
see "repo howto" link in channel topic
thanks again!
im happy to help, harvest316
