Almost correct, it is just the opposite. :) > So he adds an -ivtv to the name of the module, and then adds lines > to modprobe.conf that tell it to use these names instead of the > names of the modules in the kernel. No, the rpms do not add any alias lines, this needs to be done explicitely by the user if required. e.g. the default is to use the kernel's versions and the ones from ivtv are in standby with altered names. If the names were not altered, then ivtv's version would always win. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
