Hi Mark, I am currently running 2.6.20.6 and to get ivtv to compile correctly, you MUST unmask it in /etc/portage/package.keywords to get the correct version ivtv sources. Each version increment, requires a specific version of ivtv... If you need more details, feel free to email me direct. -- Jerry McBride -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
