Any hints on what I need to do to make the Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro 4K work on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed?
Thanks.

I have the same issue trying to install the .deb drivers in Pop!_OS 22.04 using the 6.8.0 kernel. It seems to not like something about my kernel and gives several errors concerning the use of "mutex_init", "mutex_lock", "mutex_trylock" and "mutex_unlock" functions without declaring them.

I've tested Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers versions 12.9, 12.8.1, 12.8, 12.7.1, 12.7, 12.6, 12.5, and 12.4.1. They all give the mutex errors and fail to compile.

Blackmagic Desktop Video version 12.9 works fine in the older Pop!_OS 20.04 with kernel 5.4.0, though.

NVieville posted a patch to fix Desktop Video drivers with Kernel 6.8. Link: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=199022

Edit: New download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/acehix1t ... d.deb/file

It worked for me in Pop!_OS 22.04.

Thanks nilber. The patch in that thread worked for me.

I have described exactly how I fixed my issue here in that thread.
