Indeed. Something like bttv.o does currently.

Right. But what I want to avoid is having to build a whole kernel (only got an Athlon 800 here) just to get the module. I don't know of any way given a kernel tree, to easily build a single arbitrary module. So given that, it would be nice to be able to build the fusion module right in my CVS sandbox, given (say) a "Makefile.standalone". The standalone Makefile would of course need to be pointed to the kernel source tree for the target kernel. Once I figure out how Gerd did his bttv.o Makefile, perhaps I will take a whack at this. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
