Is this the same bit that I posted a patch for 2.6.17 kernels a few months
ago? Looked something like this:
--- tuner-types.c 2006-08-27 10:52:28.000000000 -0700

};
Anyhow, just to be sure I wasn't missing anything, I upgraded to 2.6.18
and ivtv 0.8.0. It didn't seem to change anything.

You never know what a different set of eyes might discover. Isn't the
whole philosophy of open source software that we all work together to
achieve a better result?
Thanks,
