Ok, looking at the video input drivers: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/ldp/dvb-add-firesat-driver.patch This driver seems to need a major rework. It mixes IR, frontend/tuner and bridge in the same driver. The better is to split this on small pieces, and use the callbacks provided by dvb core. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/ldp/usb-add-sensoray-2255-v4l-driver.patch - The biggest issue here seems to be having the binary firmware enclosed inside the firmware. Also, we've just found a few bugs on videobuf-vmalloc. This may help to solve some pending problems. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/ldp/video-add-the-go7007-driver.patch - This driver also needs a major rework. It has some duplicated drivers (saa7134, saa7113, saa7115, ...), and still uses an old design. The better is to work tightly integrated with V4L/DVB development environment, to allow reusing the existing drivers. I'm currently lacking the time to work on they by myself, since I'm currently evolved on fixing em28xx, and finishing tm6000 driver, but I can help someone interested on working on the drivers to give them the proper directions. Cheers, Mauro
