Did the fix not make it into the video4linux cvs tree ? (the > patch applied cleanly) I am one of the "cvs maintainers" of the video4linux tree... The official maintainer is on vacation right now. Is this an analog board or a DVB board? Can you send the link to the original email? The file linked to above is showing up as a binary file and I don't know what to do with it. If the patch that you speak of is indeed a patch to the video4linux tree, and it prevents a hang in the bttv driver, then sure, it should be applied. Please send that patch into the video4linux list <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> and then it can be applied to cvs, and if it actually fixes a bug and doesnt break anything else, then we can even apply it to 2.6.13 before it gets released. -- Michael Krufky
