Thanks for the info. I'm trying to stick with the Debian stable (etch) kernel (2.6.17) so I think I'm stuck for a while. Shortly after ivtv was moved to the v4l repository I was able to build and install the modules from there even on my 2.6.17 kernel, but that no longer works. I managed to provoke a kernel oops trying to do so :). Guess I'll stick with XV for the time being. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
