Hi Martin,

if you want to use video4linux snapshots on your test11 please apply the
latest available kernelpatch first. That is
patch-2.6.0-test11-kraxel-2.gz from 20031204 at the moment. Compile and
reboot into the new kernel. You can modprobe your card and look for the
error Brett has reported. Tuner.c is most likely the same on the patched
kernel and the video4linux snapshot from the same time, you can "diff"
it ... 

Unload _all_ driver modules, apply the patch you like to test to the
snapshot (take care of fragmented lines in mailed patches), do "make"
and "make install". All new stuff is now in
/lib/modules/2.6.0-test11/v4l2, but the Makefiles copy the *.o for 2.4.x
and you have to replace them (or fix it) with the *.ko you have built.
Now you have a bunch of duplicated modules to remove from
.../drivers/media/video and ir-common.ko from .../media/common. Do a 
"depmod -a" then. Next patch or snapshot is easy going ... and I just
see one with the patch worked into!

Greetings

Hermann
