I tried under 2.6.35.6-48.fc14, 2.6.34.7-61.fc13, 2.6.32.23-170.fc12 and 2.6.32-71.7.1.el6, all Fedora/RHEL kernels and they fail on v4l/bttv-input.c: In function 'init_bttv_i2c_ir': v4l/bttv-input.c:395:3: error: too many arguments to function 'i2c_new_probed_device' include/linux/i2c.h:288:1: note: declared here It can be an issue with patched kernels from the distribution vendor, but especially Fedora has been trying to keep as close to upstream as possible. > > I just back from a long business trip, I will try to help with kernels > > < 2.6.31 but > > cannot provide you any date. Alone the fact that there will be backports is making many users happy. :) If you need any testing, I can rebuild & report on any later git version you tell me. -- http://thimm.gr/ - http://ATrpms.net/
