Hi,
I've been using this mini-patch on every release since 0.3.4. It
properly enable module loading in udev systems:
diff -rc ivtv-0.3.4/driver/ivtv-driver.c
ivtv-0.3.4.mine/driver/ivtv-driver.c
*** ivtv-0.3.4/driver/ivtv-driver.c Wed Apr 27 15:45:34 2005
--- ivtv-0.3.4.mine/driver/ivtv-driver.c Thu May 5 12:35:52 2005

{0,}
};
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci,ivtv_pci_tbl);
+
u32 yuv_offset[4] = {IVTV_YUV_BUFFER_OFFSET,
IVTV_YUV_BUFFER_OFFSET_1,
IVTV_YUV_BUFFER_OFFSET_2,
All it does it initialize the device table structure which is then read
by the modprobe tools to allow proper detection of the hardware. I do
not need to manually load the ivtv drivers or have have device alias lines.
