Compiling mcentral experimental v4l DVB drivers for SAA7134 and XC3028
v4l-dvb-experimental
This tree works well with the M-103C module with the card and tuner specified as a module parameter. The M-103C is not specifically supported by the SAA7134 driver, however the AVerMedia cardbus 506 is supported, and it appears to be close enough to work.
2.6.23 kernel
The driver compiles without error with a 2.6.23 kernel. The environment used is Fedora 8 (i386, with a vanilla i686 kernel). Prerequisite packages include 'kernel-devel' for the current kernel, as well as compilers etc.
$ hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-experimental/ $ make
The default 'make install' overwrites the RPM based v4l kernel modules. So that I had an easy back-out plan, I manually copied the modules to '/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates'. The search path for finding modules is specified in /etc/depmod.d/depmod.conf, and defaults to 'updates extra built-in weak-updates'; so putting the modules into the 'update' directory means they will be used before the RPM based v4l modules.
cp -v v4l/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates ; depmod -a
I have hard coded the saa7134 options. Given the driver isn't fully supported, hard coding the card and tuner numbers seemed to be a reasonable compromise. The file 'CARDLIST.saa7134' and 'CARDLIST.tuner' files should be consulted to verify the numbers are correct (and it is reasonable to expect them to change).
Download the firmware[3], and copy it to '/lib/firmware'. I used the latest v5 firmware file. Contray to the xc3028 readme file, extracting firmware from Windows drivers wasn't necessary.
2.6.24 kernel
When I tried to compile the mcentral ' v4l-dvb-experimental' tree against a 2.6.24 kernel, I got the error:
CC [M] /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb-experimental/v4l/flexcop-pci.o
In file included from /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb-experimental/v4l/flexcop-common.h:23,

/usr/local/src/v4l-dvb-experimental/v4l/dvb_frontend.h:165: error: field 'tuner_ops' has incomplete type
This posting suggests the following command:
make LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/linux/include -I`pwd`/v4l -Iinclude -include include/linux/autoconf.h"
Which successfully compiles the v4l-dvb-experimental tree. Once agin, just do a simple install:
cp -v v4l/*.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates ; depmod -a
If compiling for a new kernel, a 'make clean' is insufficient, and a 'make distclean' is required.
Loading the 7134 modules
Tweak the modprobe.conf [1] to set the 7134 card to 117. Note that because we have a quad tuner (i.e. four M-103C modules), then the card and the tuner has to be listed 4 times.
Future
I attempted to move from the v4l-dvb-experimental tree to the v4l-dvb tree (here), but I haven't managed to get this working (yet). At some stage I would be keen to be able to have the drivers as part of the standard kernel.
