Probably. I have not searched for the affected versions.

Mauro has it queued up for the 3.2 merge window: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.linuxtv.scm/11388 I think I missed my last chance for 3.1. Linus announced 3.1-rc10 (!) on 17 October: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/18/2 Regards, Andy > Greets, > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > ivtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
