README file for TurboSight Linux drivers

NOTE: this document assumes that all prerequisite packages like kerner headers
and build tools are already installed in your Linux system.
----------
For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-generic \
ncurses-dev libproc-processtable-perl fakeroot\
---------

Most of the steps require root access to and basic knowledge of Linux system.

Create directory, for example /root/tbs and copy the following file to it:

- linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 (S2API Linix driver for TurboSight TBS 6921)

I.1 extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive:

# tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

I.2 go to driver package directory:

# cd linux-tbs-drivers

I.3 depending on your kernel version and if the kernel is x86 or 
x86_64 (check output of 'uname -a') do:

- for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

- for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

- for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

I.4 build and install the driver:
# cd ..
# make && make install

I.5 reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:

# shutdown -r now

I.6 after reboot check that the newly installed driver is loaded correctly:

# dmesg | grep cx23885

if everything is OK, the output from the above command should be similar to:
