Michael suggested that I try add the define to rename the struct in compat.h, as this will remove a lot of compat code from all the drivers. What do you say? All that #if stuff can build up to make quite a mess. I've tested with kernel 2.6.12, all the x86 drivers compiled fine. I think there was an I2C change in kernel 2.6.13 that I had to include some compat stuff for. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
