Since there has been no response to this issue, should I be filing this as a bug report?
What is the best kernel/ivtv combination to go back to? I just tried compiling 0.4.0 under 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 kernel and it failed pretty early on in msp3400. I understand that ivtv is a bit of a mess at the moment due to the rework of the API to go into the linux kernel and it is a shame that this transition has been pretty poorly handled. There doesn't appear to be anywhere where the stable releases are documented while these changes are happening. Can anyone suggest the best approach?
