Re: generic question
Actually I just realised... I think when the system reboots it will only load the modules it needs from /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media... It won't load everything in that directory into the kernel/memory right? So the only reason one might want to use make menuconfig; is to prevent irrelevant compiled modules ending up in... /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media Feel free to correct if this understanding is wrong.

Re: generic question
I think I know why this was not working... I was using main hg source tree instead of: http://www.jusst.de/hg/saa716x/ My bad, still quite a n00b I guess, but at least I'm learning! :-) I will take it from there Jed wrote: The compile install completed without issue then I rebooted but j...@jed-desktop:/var/log$ sudo lsmod Module Size Used by binfmt_misc18572 1 bridge 63776 0 stp11140 1 bridge bnep 22912 2 video 29204 0 output 11648 1 video input_polldev 12688 0 lp 19588 0 snd_hda_intel 557492 4 snd_pcm_oss52352 0 snd_mixer_oss 24960 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm99464 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 11524 0 snd_seq_oss41984 0 snd_seq_midi 15744 0 snd_rawmidi33920 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 16512 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq66272 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 34064 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq iTCO_wdt 21712 0 snd_seq_device 16276 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq pcspkr 11136 0 ppdev 16904 0 iTCO_vendor_support12420 1 iTCO_wdt snd78920 17 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 16800 1 snd snd_page_alloc 18704 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm parport_pc 45096 1 parport49584 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc usbhid 47040 0 intel_agp 39408 0 ohci1394 42164 0 ieee1394 108288 1 ohci1394 r8169 46596 0 mii14464 1 r8169 fbcon 49792 0 tileblit 11264 1 fbcon font 17024 1 fbcon bitblit14464 1 fbcon softcursor 10368 1 bitblit ...Where's the module I need?
