Hi Linus,
I've visiting at my parents house and gave 2.6.15-rc7 a try on my
dad's machine. This machine is his normal desktop box which I
administer remotely, as well as a MythTV server. The new kernel built
and booted fine. I then built the NVidia stuff. However when I tried
to build the ivtv driver from portage it failed:
There's nothing the kernel developers can do about regressions in out of
tree modules - there is no stable kernel module API so the authors of
that module will have to fix it.
Any idea why the IVTV module has not been submitted for mainline?
Little by little, ivtv is being merged into V4L. There is a lot of
reorganization that is taking place, and it is not a very fast process.
As of 2.6.15-rc1, many of the modules from ivtv were merged into the
kernel through V4L. Recently, there was another ivtv fork discovered,
called paken. (for better details, see ivtv mailing list archives) The
ivtv guys are currently working on cleaning up the main ivtv module, and
merging in the code from the paken repo. When all is ready, it will all
be merged into v4l, and eventually the kernel.
Cheers,
Michael Krufky
