1 Hi,
2 I am trying to update my MythTV server's kernel to 2.6.19 or
3 higher. It's been running 2.6.17. When I boot either 2.6.19-r7 or
4 2.6.20-r6 and attempt to build the ivtv driver I get message like
5 this:
6
7 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
8 * CONFIG_VIDEO_HELPER_CHIPS_AUTO: should not be set. But it is.
9 * CONFIG_VIDEO_WM8775: is not set when it should be.
10 * CONFIG_VIDEO_CX25840: is not set when it should be.
11 * CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA711X: is not set when it should be.
12 * CONFIG_VIDEO_CX2341X: is not set when it should be.
13 * CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7127: is not set when it should be.
14 * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
15 * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
16 * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging
17 * this package again.

19 It seems that in the gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r2 kernel under
20 Multimedia devices->Video Capture Devices there was an option for
21 Encoders and Decoders where these could be set. On these newer kernels
22 that section is not there and scanning through the .config file for
23 the kernel I'm not finding them at all.
24
25 Does anyone know what's required to get these features into the kernel?
26
27 Thanks,
28 Mark
