Yes, because svnversion is run with the -c (committed) option to create 
ivtv-svnversion.h which shows the last-changed revision rather than the 
latest revision! Just remove -c and it'll work as desired.

Patch for drivers/Makefile (here of revision 3111):
64c64

Also, you'd see if the checked out copy was modified ('M' added):

Yes, this are somewhat legacy options. Especially once=0 for msp3400 
was needed once to switch channels in xawtv when ivtv and bttv were 
running concurrently.

Checked the diffs between revisions 3102 and 3106. Nothing but 
adding the log feature. Odd. Really odd! I have no idea why it 
works again. Perhaps the sunspot activity has declined
(random excuse from http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/BOFH)!
But then problems started on January 1st. Slowly, I'm beginning
to _believe_ the sunspot theory...

Btw, for the curious: To see the diffs between subversion revisions
use: svn diff <URL>@revisionA <URL>@revisionB
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.diff.html
e.g. (on a single line):
  svn diff http://ivtvdriver.org/svn/ivtv/branches/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
           http://ivtvdriver.org/svn/ivtv/branches/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, I cannot reproduce my problems with a revision > 3099 and
I dare to go back to an older one...
However, I commented out all options in modprobe.conf since
they're indeed obsolete.

Just checked out rev 3111. Works!
Even the color issue is gone... Sunspots?

Thanks for your help, Hans!

Regards, Walter
