Well, on the one hand it's the users and on the other hand is the currect vanilla kernel. Since the developers of the linux kernel changed the development model a few months ago, it has been hard to even keep some stability between the CVS of linuxtv and the kernel sources (any). I would suggest that those that do want drivers that work reliably on various platforms (not only suse, as klaus points out) should put up a snapshot of the linuxtv driver that works as of the moment the platform releases it's kernel, and start backporting patches from the HEAD cvs linuxtv reposotory to this snapshot. This would to a certain degree follow the developmodel recently adopded by the vanilla kernel developers.. Please, stop whining about this Klaus, you have been heard, but the linuxtv driver is primarily focused on providing a driver for the vanilla kernel.. Kenneth
