It seems to me as if this bug has resurfaced again. I had no problems loading bttv with my twinhan VP1030A with the 2.6.12 kernel (actually patched for gentoo-sources, but I don't think there were any bttv related patches). When trying to upgrade to either 2.6.13-rc3 or 2.6.13-rc3-mm1 I was getting a hang when loading bttv, both from the kernel vedeo4linux tree and from the latest cvs (18/7/2005). I applied the patch Manu posted months ago from http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/attachments/20050404/00967085/bttv-cards.c-0001.bin to the video4linux cvs source compiled againt 2.6.13-rc3-mm1 and the problem was fixed. Just thought that anyone else crawling this list for fixed might want to know. Did the fix not make it into the video4linux cvs tree ? (the patch applied cleanly) Cheers, Graeme PS: Sorry for not replying to the original thread and posting a quote from the archive here, but I wasn't a member of the list when this was posted.

I have attached a patch which solves the very same problem in a much better way. Hope Twinhan users can check this out and know whether it works for them ..
