Likewise! Same old gang on cx88 then :-) .

I'm not sure how to pin down the version Gentoo provides. The syslog on 
bootup says:

Linux version 2.6.25-gentoo (root@ian2) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 
p1.0.2)) #1 PREEMPT Sat Apr 19 09:29:59 BST 2008

The gentoo-sources changelog doesn't say which version of the Kernel 
they picked up to make the release. I can see from the package manifest 
that they use linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2 as the base source, but then apply 
patches to make the Gentoo release. I've dug around the
drivers/media/video/cx88 source a bit, but all the version comments 
appear to be stripped out.

Gentoo usually provide a "masked" version of the kernel for several 
iterations before making it "stable" in their package tree, so I would 
guess that this is probably an early kernel source release, if that helps.

I'm a bit rusty at this stuff, sorry.

I'd be happy to do whatever is needed to pin down the problem. As I say 
though, I am a bit rusty. If you tell me what to do I'll have a go.

Thanks
