Replicant: which bvdd hint are u talking about? I still have problems with the bvdd v3 ipk! which version did you try and got it working?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77498\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Which v3 ipk? I am using the bvdd file I found on elsix.org, I think, version 0.1.0-1.

So what I did:

Copy the bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk file to some directory
mv bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.tar.gz
tar -xzf bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.tar.gz
tar -xzf control.tar.gz
jed preinstall  and changed the 3000 to 1000 as bil suggested (use vi or any other editor, if  you don't have jed)
tar -cf control.tar ./preinstall ./control
gzip control.tar
tar -cf  bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.tar ./control.tar.gz ./data.tar.gz ./debian-binary
gzip bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.tar
mv bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.tar.gz bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk


and then it installed.
(Oh, one more thing: The ./ in front of the filenames are important when doing the tar -cf)

Thanks a lot for the hint. Worked liked a charm.
(Meaning I tar -xzf 'ed the package, untared the control.tar.gz as well changed the preinstall file and
afterwards packed it all up again. I will attach the modified bvdd file when I get home)

So now I have a properly installed bvdd.
Will try kino next...

Did you see any improvement on the videos quality with the new drivers? because someone said [div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=76739\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hm, I have to admit I never even tried the other drivers, so I can't compare, really (that said,  I could have a look if there are other vo options also installed and try them out).
Didn't try streaming video, either.

Will look into it when I find time.

Hi,

sorry, didn't check the thread for a few days. I am currently at work, so I can't give an extensive answer right away (will post more later), but basically what I did was to extract the ipk file and do the install manually (as specified in one of the files, can't remember).
This involved:
- Copying (or creating??? can't remember) the bvdd initialisation file to /etc/rc.d/init.d/
- Creating a soft link "ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc3.d /etc/rc.d/init.d/bvdd" in rc3.d (repeat for rc4.d and rc5.d)
- copying the bvdd.o module to lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/

Then I did an insmod to load the bvdd module.

I will check it again, when I am home (well,probably not to today but tomorrow) and post a more thorough Howto

Ok, update.

I COULD install the bvdd module manually. So now mplayer is actually running.
Still very small and in portrait mode, but I kind of remember reading about some command-line options which might fix that.

EDIT:
1) I can't get mplayer to play fullscreen, no matter what I do. Well, doesn't matter
2) I would still need some noob-help, a.k.a. known as: Why can't I install kino2?
    I am using the Trisoft english conversion (thanks, btw, for making it publicly available)
    and haven't upgraded the ipkg-package itself (I read somewhere that there are newer
    versions available?) or anything. So I suppose it should word (using the kino2-bvdd  
    package, shouldn't it?

Sorry to bother you all with absolute noob-questions. I have searched through these forums for some time but have not found answers so far. The questions are:


1) How exactly do I install mplayer? Or, for a start, how do I install the bvdd module?
Doing so always crashes the graphical installer (with reboot) and the command line:
ipkg install bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk complains:

> ipkg install bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk
Unpacking bvdd...Done.
Configuring bfdd...//usr/lib/ipkg/info/bvdd.preinst failed. Aborting installation of bvdd

One could presumably try to install the module by hand, I just don't know if I could do it.

2) Nearly every other app I've tried (OK, just the games, I wanted to test the graphic capabilities of that machine...) insists of running either not at all (clicking the symbol) or in a weird configuration (as if just occupying only the lower third of the screen and completely garbled).  Starting with fullscreen support really does start the programs... only way to small and rotated to portrait mode. I will have another look in the C700 - C860 forums.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (apart from RTFM, since that is in Japanese...),

Cheers,
Sven
