Patched, compiled and loaded OK. -->

Jun 28 15:33:41 ltop kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Jun 28 15:33:41 ltop kernel: bttv: driver version 0.8.18 loaded [v4l/v4l2]
Jun 28 15:33:41 ltop kernel: bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each
for capture

Well, no more those errors on open(2) but radio does _not_ work. -->

Jun 28 15:35:37 ltop kernel: tuner: radio freq set to 88.12
Jun 28 15:35:37 ltop kernel: tuner: PLL not locked
Jun 28 15:35:37 ltop kernel: tuner: Signal: 8192

Just a noise.

btw, cool feature is that inc/dec volume on changing freq.

Well, radio(1) from xawtv package does not work. v4l2 API problem maybe ?
