The freeze-patch was against bttv in v4l, not in DVB. So it depends which version of v4l/kernel you are using.. if you are using a kernel >= 2.6.11.8 or kernel >= 2.6.12-rc3, the freeze fix is in there.. The freeze fix went in to 2.6.11.8 and 2.6.12-rc3. If you happen to be using a kernel < 2.6.12-rc4, you would be needing the timing fix too.. The timing fix went in to 2.6.12-rc4, i think (or was it rc5 ?) If you happen to be on 2.6.12-rc6, you would not require mostly anything at all as most of the changes are in there.. The latest changes in CVS went in to rc6. > also i know this is a basic question but, will I need to re-compile > the patched kernel or should it just go on next boot into the patched > kernel? > You will need to recompile the kernel, since the kernel is patched.
