Hello,
I'm trying to use bt8[47]8 boards for image processing and need to
turn off AGC, or at least turn off `adaptive AGC' (`crush') in the
bttv driver.
The patch below for Gerd's bttv-0.7.51 lets me do this with a new
`initialization flags' parameter.
I can provide a patch for the 2.2.18 bttv version as well, but
according to my experience stream-capturing doesn't work properly in
that version anyway (bttv-0.7.51 seems much better).
Regards,
Wolfram.
