It did work with v4l2 built as a stand-alone module. v4l1 compatibility did not work because of an undefined symbol but who cares about that? Anyone installing v4l2 and bttv 0.8.x wants v4l2 and couldn't care less about v4l1. :-) > 2.4.19-pre8 > will be the first one where you can build bttv 0.8.x without additional > patches (if you are happy with v4l, for v4l2 support you still need v4l2 > patches). Patches or just building the v4l2 module (outside the kernel tree)? In terms of wanting to develop video software and not wanting to waste time patching and building kernels everytime a new one is released this is an important distinction. At any rate, you must be saying that 2.4.19-pre8 will have the required "2.5 bits" that bttv 0.8.x needs backported to it? > Known bugs in 0.8.33.

I guess I will just have to wait for my distro to do a 2.4.19-pre8 based kernel before leaving this kernel I am using now (which bttv 0.8.x does work with). b. -- Brian J. Murrell
