Mostly, this happened due to the fact that now, those tuners are shared between DVB and V4L. The proper solution were to move those tuners into common/tuners. I finally found some time for a patch for it. Since this kind of patch requires build testing with the in-kernel tree, I've preferred to develop this one directly at -git. It is at [1]: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git;a=commit;h=b251551263a57d8ca518a21008f20dff29964cb9 This patch also do some rearrangements at Kconfig items and move saa7146 to media/video (where all other hybrid designs are). After this patch, a good cleanup would be to rename the Kconfig items, since the namespace is very messy nowadays. Also, I didn't touch on some tuners that are currently used only by DVB-only drivers. Probably, it would be a good idea to move the other tuners capable of working on both analog and digital modes (like mt2060) also to common/tuners, to use the same convention for all tuners. Please check and test. If ok, it would be good to merge it during 2.6.26 window. Cheers, Mauro [1] as a plus, -git works very well with "move" patches. I've started working on this before merging a few patches that changed tea5767 and tea5761. Just poping the move patch from stgit stack, applying the newer ones and pushing again solved all conflicts. With Mercurial, I would probably need to re-do the move for the affected drivers. -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
