when I was compiling default minimum kernel for my laptop, I started with "make x86_64_defconfig" then menuconfig to enable only a few kernel features or device drivers those I have, including the USB_VIDEO_CLASS for webcam; with this I enabled VIDEO_DEV but disable DVB_CORE; till recently I found that also chosen those media tuner modules, $ grep MEDIA_TUNER /boot/config CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=m # CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE is not set CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TDA8290=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TDA827X=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TDA18271=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TDA9887=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5761=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5767=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_MT20XX=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_XC5000=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_XC4000=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_MC44S803=m as I understand, MEDIA_TUNER is for some tv adapters but I don't have such hardware, to disable them I need to enable MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE, then a menu "Customize TV tuners" becomes visible then I need to enter that menu and disable all the tuners one-by-one; this looks not convenient, config MEDIA_TUNER tristate default VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C select MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_XC5000 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_XC4000 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_MT20XX if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_TDA8290 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5761 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE && EXPERIMENTAL select MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5767 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_TDA9887 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE select MEDIA_TUNER_MC44S803 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE menu "Customize TV tuners" visible if MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE -- cheng renquan (程任全) -- 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
