Most of the drivers and interfaces are built as loadable kernel modules. Which is what the ivtv "driver" is.

I don't seem to have any > other ivtv.ko files anywhere else on the system. The /lib/modules/<kernel name> is where kernel modules live. .ko files and .ko.gz files are loadable kernel modules. In the dir with the ivtv files, take note of the file names. search under that entire /lib/modules/<kernel name> directory for files with the same name (like tveeprom). Those are the ones to rename to prevent a clash. Once done, run "depmod -a" (without quotes) to update the module dependency list. Then when it tries to load the tuner and such, it will get the one from the ivtv build. > Thanks for your patience, No big. Lonnie Borntreger
