Patrick- I have noticed this, and I agree with you... I am currently working on dvb-bt8xx ... I am working on adding support for DViCO FusionHDTV5 Lite, using bttv and lgdt3303 demod. When I get this working, or on my next commit (whichever comes next), I will change the description of DVB_BT8XX within Kconfig to something (hopefully) more meaningfull. The Description line should be something more indicative of the bttv chip. Maybe I'll change this sooner than later... it's a minor fix, we'll see. I cc'd Johannes... He might want to be the one to make this change before i have a chance. I don't think that Nebula/Pinnacle/Twinham/AverMedia/DViCO need be mentioned at all in the one-liner description.... maybe in the longer text blob description. Johannes- This minor Kconfig fix might be good for 2.6.13 ... it may help to reduce confusion... If you dont fix this before I get home tonight, I'll commit a change to cvs. Unrelated, I sent you an email a few weeks ago asking you not to submit lgdt330x changes upstream until the cx88-dvb counterpart is ready. As of now, 2.6.13 DOES include recent versions of both cx88-dvb and lgdt330x, and there are some minor fixes inside lgdt330x that can be merged upstream whenever you feel like sending more patches. These recent changes don't need to go right now, but I am just giving you the heads up that we arent held back by cx88-dvb any longer... the v4l & dvb trees are in sync again, with respect to cx88-dvb. (the dependency problems are gone, for now) Any changes from this point on can be merged at your leisure, unless the interface changes again. -MiKE Krufky
