The packages needed have the same name as for Redhat, and I have been able to build apparently successfully. BUT When I booted the next day, the boot process blocked. By rebooting and using the verbose mode, I saw some message passing by mentioning ivtv, plus 10 (or more) lines of codes (the ivtv message scrolled off the screen) and at last "Fixing recursive fault, but this requires reboot". So I rebooted two more times, and then I could start the PC, but I did not check the video device, I had not enough time for that. The next day, I had the same booting problem again, and I gave up after 10 reboots, and re-installed Mandriva. After that, I could not find anything on the events in the logs (I have /var on a separate partition, so it does not get completely wiped out by a re-installation). I will check the Mandriva User group on this, and keep you informed if anything comes out of it. Regards Herman Viaene -- Veel mensen danken hun goed geweten aan hun slecht geheugen. (G.
