I think I understand what you're getting at... however, it appears that you are wrong as far as the RedHat 7.1 default. Personally I checked in the default config files and they had CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m as well as CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=m. However these values might have been different from the compiled default. In any case, if you need to recompile and are unsure of what you are doing, I recommend you just look at the sub-directory "configs" under your kernel source.. it has several config files for "typical" installations... therefore you can copy the one you want to the base source directory as a file named ".config". Also, if you need to modify the configuration, I recommend you use make xconfig (instead of make config)... make xconfig will popup a GUI-based configuration which you will find easier to use. Whatever the case, you should look at the Linux Kernel HOWTO, compiling your kernel isn't as single as just running "make"... in fact, typically you need: make xconfig make dep make bzImage make install make modules make modules_install (if I remember well, been a long time since I compiled a kernel) ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Gonzalo Mesa Restrepo <jmesar@xxxxxxxxx> To: <video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 3:03 PM Subject: loadable modules enabled > My question is if do exist a different way to enable the loadable modules without run make config or if do exist a way to stop the make config after made the > proper change. > > After installing Red Hat 7.1 the loadable modules are disables and to load the bttv driver, as is stated in the BTTV Mini-HOWTO: > 4.2 Kernel Configuration, > > "If not, you'll need to recompile your kernel with CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV and CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848 > Enabled, preferably as loadable modules.
