I actually had a very encouraging victory this weekend. My wife made the mistake of going to bed early on Friday. This means she will be asleep when I go to bed, so "why should I go sooner versus later?" Come 1am I had followed Todd Ignasiak's advice & URL's and got /dev/video0 to deliver video to both mplayer and MythTV's "Watch Live TV" I should have went to bed then. But, I did notice that the video seemed to be stretched wide and 25% of the right half was out of view. Since the instructions I was following used ivtv 0.3.2s I decided to try 0.3.7f (the latest as of then) I lost all I had gained. I was up until 5am trying to get it to work again. So, now I must start over with 0.3.2s to see if I can get back where I was. Can I use symlinks for the ivtv installs? Right now I have the following symlinks: /lib/modules/misc/tuner.ko -> modules/2.6.11.9-chw-2/ivtv/tuner.ko /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin -> HcwFalcn.rom 1st, is there a problem with using either of those? (specifically the first one.) 2nd, I would like to symlink every file that gets installed by /usr/src/ivtv-x/driver/make install & /usr/src/ivtv-x/driver/make install to it's destination, so that I could easily test different versions of the driver by only calling a "make", and then symlinking /lib/modules/... to /usr/src/ivtv-current/... and symlinking /usr/src/ivtv-current/ to /usr/src/ivtv-x/. Is that clear? Can that be done? (I'm wondering if the kernel will follow these nested links.) What files do I need to link? (is there a way for me to find that out from the Makefile2.6?) Please no RTFMing. I did actually open the file /usr/src/ivtv-0.3.7f/driver/Makefile2.6 and saw the following sections "all:", "install: all", "clean:", "reload:", and "unload:". The section "install:all" seems to "find" msp3400.ko, tuner.ko, tda9887.ko, & tveeprom.ko in the /lib/modules/x/kernel directory and warn you of conflicts, but I cannot find where it actually copies those files to their destinations. Please advise. I'm changing the title of this thread, since I just went in a whole new direction. -- Thank you for your time, --==<< R i c h a r d B r o n o s k y >>==-- Nearly all viruses and spyware are designed to use Microsoft internet products.
