No, you must have used a "car=4" option....

No idea what you're talking about. I dont see a bug anywhere. FusionHDTV7 is not supported in 2.6.26.y -- you should use the linuxtv.org modules from the development repository, instead. > 2.

Did you reboot your machine before trying the new modules? Is videobuf compiled in the kernel, or as a module? (it should be a module) Did you just try to select the driver you needed in the linuxtv.org mercurial repository, or did you build everything? Just follow the instructions exactly -- dont pick and choose, just build the entire repository. Dont use "make load" ever -- it is evil. Just reboot your computer. > There are actually various other mercurial repos hosted on linuxtv.org, which > one should I try next? There are individual developer repositories hosted on linuxtv.org -- you should never use them unless you know that you explicitly need a changeset from a developer repository that has not yet been merged. Use v4l-dvb, and follow instructions exactly -- regardless of whether you think you know what you're doing -- the build rules for v4l-dvb must be followed exactly... but NEVER USE MAKE LOAD. FusionHDTV7 support will be present in Intrepid, which uses the 2.6.27 kernel.
