However, the problems I referred to still exist, the kernel will not build cleanly. At least 2.6.12 won't. 1. The i2c-id.h from Hg isn't compatible with the one from the kernel. All the kernel i2c stuff won't build. I used the kernel i2c-id.h and just added the have dozen defines Hg needed to it. 2. The matroxfb driver won't build, because of videodev2.h. I thought maybe this was a bug in videodev2.h and sent a patch yesterday. Also, the zoran driver source isn't in Hg (??), but is in the Makefile. I made the whole drivers/media/video directory a link into Hg, so this didn't work. The way makelinks.sh makes the links there is no problem. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
