Increase the maximum value of the DVB timeout to 240 seconds.
Some devices may need more time for the initial tune (e.g. firmware loading).
Let the user specify higher timeout value if there is need to.
The default remains 30 seconds.

8507 | 1 lidbha - Direct Hardware Access library |
2 ======================================= | |
3 | |
4 This library was designed for providing direct hardware access under different | |
5 OS'es and architectures, so it's platform- and os-independent. | |
6 | |
8508 | 7 The main project on the top of libdha is Vidix. It provides userspace |
8 video drivers for Matrox, Ati, 3Dlabs, Trident (and it's still evolving). | |
3973 | 9 |
8508 | 10 For the full list of supported OS'es read the sources, anyway here's a 'reported |
11 as working' list (these platforms are used daily): | |
8507 | 12 Linux/x86 |
13 FreeBSD/x86 | |
14 NetBSD/x86 | |
15 Linux/PPC | |
3973 | 16 |
8507 | 17 There are different ways to access the hardware, normally only ROOT can do that. |
11704 | 18 With root privileges libdha will run fine, but there are some others ways |
8507 | 19 to use it as a normal user: |
11704 | 20 1, set the SUID bit on the binary (in this way it runs with root privileges) |

21 2, use svgalib kernel helper (please read the comment in the Makefile) |
8507 | 22 3, use dhahelper (not yet finished) |
23 | |
8508 | 24 The library is based on XFree86 and gfxdump (a utility from the GATOS project) |
8507 | 25 sources. |
