I've just recompiled my kernel with what I thought was support for my WinTV PCi card. Apparently the driver for a bt848 card is now Conexant 2388x. I've compiled that and the appropriate sound driver in.You know, everybody... it seems to me that we're stumbling about somewhat in the dark for no reason.
What is the exact name and model number of the card, so you or we can look it up and *see* what chipset it is using (this information can be found on the Internet, and possibly even on the Hardware Specifications page of the manual).
I also found this tidbit:
Drivers voor TV cards Hauppauge WinTV PCI met een 848 of 878 chipset.
Card met 848 chipset hebben een serienummer : 56XXX, 58XXX ou 60XXX.
Die met 878 chipset hebben: 61xxx, 44xxx, 39xxx, 38xxx ou 37xxx.
I understand that Tony is having a problem finding the BT848/878 drivers in the kernel for some reason, but first can we confirm what drivers he actually needs before haring all over town to find drivers that might be the wrong ones?
And Tony... the drivers should be there. I really don't think there was any reason to remove them for 2.6.10. I'm using kernel 2.6.5 atm (under a temporary SuSE 9.1 installation), but I have used 2.6.10 in the past (development-sources, mm-sources), and they were there then (I don't have a TV card, but I'm thinking about getting one, so I noticed).
You're looking at the actual make (menu/x/g)config, and not .config? What precisely do you have in Device Drivers=>Multimedia Devices=>Video for Linux (or Video4Linux or V4L, or whatever it's called)?
Also also:
>grep -r 2388 /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4/Documentation/video4linux/ > > I get exactly the same output... >
Of course you didn't find any BT848 information in the output list-- you grepped for the Conexant chipset number (2388). I don't know much about grep, but I can spot that ;-) .
Try replacing that 2388 with 848 instead, and see if you get better results.
