The problem are not related to bugs at firedtv driver, but, instead, due to the fact that the provided firewire drivers and fw-core don't match the drivers that are shipped with the distro kernel. In order words, at Ubuntu (and some other deb-based distros), they're shipping the wrong include files at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/. So, there's no way to build and run any module based on that wrong broken headers. Up to a certain amount, the same happens with -alsa files on Ubuntu: although they will compile [1], as the provided headers at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ are from a different version than the alsa modules provided with Ubuntu, the drivers that depend on -alsa will generally compile, but they generally won't load (and, if they load, they'll can cause an OOPS and some other random troubles), as the symbol dependency will not match. While a hack might be added at v4l-dvb -hg tree to make firedtv to compile against a broken header, the firedtv driver will not work anyway. The only real solution for it is to fix this issue at the distro. Cheers, Mauro [1] The v4l-dvb is smart enough to adapt to -alsa API changes that are backported into an older kernel, since it checks for the API symbols that changed, instead of just looking for the kernel version. This works fine with all distros (like Fedora, RHEL, SUSE, OpenSUSE, Mandriva, ...) where the include files for alsa are at the right place: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
