Well I've tried with and without the menuconfig -> Device drivers -> |
| 10 |
Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux -> Video for Linux -> |
| 11 |
Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
and I still get this error message upon building a new kernel: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |

I have search (from /usr/src/linux) for 'pvr' but I find |
| 27 |
nothing. I had more errors but I nuked many choices |
| 28 |
under Video4Linux and it seems to have clear up most problems |
| 29 |
related to building a new kernel that supports the bt878 |
| 30 |
and bttv, which the LMLBT44 liturature says is needed (for 2.4 kernel |
| 31 |
installs). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I also found this web page with the latest patch for bttv: |
| 34 |
http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/bttv.html |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
but I'm not sure how to check if this patch has been applied to the |
| 37 |
2.6.9.gentoo-r4 sources. If not, I'm not exactly sure how to |
| 38 |
apply it. V4L seems to quite finicky...... |
