There are two dirty ways to solve the problem. You can include the private structure and access the fd or you comment out the goto at line 160 in 'drivers/media/video/videodev.c' (2.4.19-pre8). Older kernels had line a with "busy=1" that could be commented out. A clean way would be to define an interface for tuning that can be retrieved by e.g. IDirectFBVideoProvider::GetTuner(). The video provider could then pass the fd to the other interface which would also be in the v4l module. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
