Hi,

I'm a long time and very happy UK-based ivtv user and have just built
another box (FC4, 2.6.12 kernel, PVR-150 and 2x V-Stream DVB Xpert
cards). I used atrpms.net in order to install MythTV quickly and also
used it to install the 0.3.7k ivtv driver.

The DVB cards are supported directly in the kernel. However, there
used to be an issue (and maybe still is) requiring the ivtv versions
of the tuner/eeprom/msp modules to be aliased to stop them interfering
with those in the kernel install. When I aliased the ivtv modules in
modprobe.conf and reran depmod -ae, my DVB modules would no longer
load. After removing the alias lines, things worked again. Does this
mean the DVB card was trying to use the ivtv versions of these
modules?

Therefore, I'm wondering if there's still a requirement to alias these
ivtv modules, or should they be physically renamed to make sure they
do not interfere with the kernel modules. I realise that hopefully
ivtv will hit the mainline kernel soon, but I'm wondering the best way
to proceed at the moment, to avoid any future conflicts.

Many thanks,
Nick
