As soon as you do so it won't work to install any other external media drivers anymore, beside that v4l-dvb is much bigger than the snipped out em28xx driver. em28xx-userspace2 and userspace-drivers only contains the drivers for em28xx based devices and won't affect any other drivers on the system. Since the uvc driver is also out of tree it won't break compiling/using the uvc driver against the current running kernel. The kernel sources are needed because some internal headers are needed for the em28xx to build an alternative tuning system for hybrid radio/analogue TV/DTV devices. It should work flawlessly with older kernel releases where v4l-dvb already fails to compile. It's also easier to keep backward compatibility while not breaking any other drivers on the system that way (and this is seriously needed) Beside all that: There's a .deb package available I posted the link very early already compiling from source can always introduce some mess so you better know what you do otherwise you have to learn how it works... The build scripts already do alot work there for several different distributions Markus _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
