Hey Andrew, thanks I found it. But this introduced a whole new set of problems - and I dont understand why.
I know this is quite off topic, but maybe there is a kind soul out there who can help. When I compile the ERTC in, during boot, the system cant mount my reiserfs root partition (HUH????). This is confirmed by the removal of the ERTC, recompliing the kernel - and wala it finds the disk, but once again no rtc. I saw the generic rtc underneath that option - I tried it of course - well at least the system found the the root partition, but still not rtc for freevo and tvtime. Seeing as I have posted this here, and am probably going to get flamed for it anyway, let me ask another question. running the new kernel, v4l2, with the conexant cx8800 driver installed and running. Attempting to use mplayer in tv mode, I get no more than abotu 30 frames the whole machine locks up - any ideas on that one :-S This is getting annoying. Maybe someone out there knows something I've missed.
