Your hint does explain why it turns itself on, however: config MEDIA_TUNER tristate default DVB_CORE || VIDEO_DEV depends on DVB_CORE || VIDEO_DEV I have DVB_CORE=n and VIDEO_DEV=y. VIDEO_DEV is: config VIDEO_DEV tristate "Video For Linux" So if you enable Video For Linux, the tuner-core is automatically built, even if no tuners are selected? Surely that's wrong.. -- Cheers, Alistair. 137/1 Warrender Park Road, Edinburgh, UK.
