Anyway, the easiest way to get everything working would be to upgrade your kernel up to 2.4.22 and use my all-in-one, ready-to-apply patch. > here is the patch : > > diff --exclude=media -ru bttv-0.9.11-orig/bttv-if.c > bttv-0.9.11-i2c/bttv-if.c > --- bttv-0.9.11-orig/bttv-if.c Wed Jun 25 18:26:49 2003 > +++ bttv-0.9.11-i2c/bttv-if.c Sun Aug 3 15:33:34 2003 > (...) > and here my corresponding code, really tiny (original vanilla 2.4.19) You're trying to do the wrong thing. This patch is intended for people using recent bttv sources from outside the kernel. If you are using the bttv driver from the Linux kernel, then you should use this one: http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.22/linux-2.4.22-i2c-2.8.1-drivers-media-video.diff or, if you are using i2c 2.8.0: http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21-i2c-2.8.0-drivers-media-video.diff That will fix all video drivers in your kernel tree, including bttv. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
