[mythtv-users] Re: mythtv 0.14, bttv 0.9.12/13 + Kernel 2.6.3-4 - low brightness red screen on channel change

Dear folks,

I got a reply from Gerd (bttv) concerning patches to the 2.6.3 kernel
series. 

He said:

Sooooo, at some point, I'm going to try those patches. 

I think the ones I need are at:

http://bytesex.org/patches/2.6.3-1

... your mileage may vary.

It looks like it has to be against the kernel source tree, since there
are patches to code outside the bttv branch, such as the scheduler, - so
it can't just be against a bttv tarball AFAICS.

I'll try and let y'all know when I've had a go!

If anyone else gets it done in the meantime, by all means followup.

And again, a public thankyou to Gerd at bytesex for taking the time to
answer! :-)

Kind regards

Derek Jones
