Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. See the "tw686x" (an SD TV frame grabber) case. I didn't even request that the other driver wasn't merged. I only wanted it as a patch on top of the original one - so the history could be visible. -- Krzysztof Hałasa Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz Przemysłowy Instytut Automatyki i Pomiarów PIAP Al.
