Yes, and in fact this is the way to get the "in-V4L" version of the pvrusb2 driver. At this moment both the standalone driver and this version are pretty much in-sync. (However I haven't done anything to merge this cropping change yet.) The cx25840 part of the patch, by the way, needs to go into the v4l-dvb repository. Once there, it will find its way into the kernel tree the next time a merge window opens (which won't be now until after 2.6.26 is released). > > It might be better to start from the Fedora Kernel source though.

I am in the middle of some unrelated work right now. Once I get some breathing room from that, I'm going to look at these patches. Some things I need to examine: 1. I need to understand what is going on inside of the cx25840 module so that I can get it reviewed. This is likely something that Hans Verkuil will want to examine. 2. I need to test for NTSC and examine a few related issues. 3. I also want to see if I can make corresponding changes to the saa7115 module so that 29xxx devices will be able to support this feature. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
