How did you get the IvTV drivers to work on FC2? I have tried using the 
version you used (..ck67a) and other versions (both older and more 
recent) but can't get it to work.

They compile alright ("make", "make install"), and seem to load without 
problems ("make reload") as far as I can tell from log files, but every 
time I try to change some settings using test_ioctl I get a segfault.

I'm using the kernel that came with the FC2 release - do I need to 
compile my own using the kernel.org sources?
