FYI, Mine worked without recompiling ivtv with the Samsung TCPN tuner. YMMV.

The rpms package up what the ivtv buildsystem decides to build for that kernel. E.g. there is no control mechsnism in the rpm layer, you get what you'd get if you would build it yourself. Hans turned off the build of certain kernel modules for 2.6.15 because the support is now in the kernel. Did you try the Samsung tuner support with 2.6.15? If ivtv 0.4.2 had better tuner kernel modules than 2.6.15, Hans wouldn't had turned it off. In any case, if the ivtv build or the rpms for that matter do not contain foo-ivtv then the alias lines are wrong, they effectively just kill the in-kernel foo w/o providing a replacement. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
