IIRC, the ivtv builds are linked to the kernel version - older kernels require you to use older ivtv builds. For example, kernel 2.6.19.* will take ivtv 0.9, while kernel 2.6.18.* takes ivtv 0.8. ivtv 1.0.* has worked for any kernel since 2.6.21, so unless you plan on downgrading below that, you should stick with 1.0. -Tim -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
