Yes, I was able to compile, install, and use the ivtv driver with my newfangled 2.6.0 kernels with the advice given here:<BR>
<A HREF="http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=Kernel-2.6.patches">http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=Kernel-2.6.patches</A><BR>
<BR>
I used the versions mentioned on this page. I grabbed Axboe's source tarball from here:<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/ivtv/older/ivtv-031118A.tar.gz">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/ivtv/older/ivtv-031118A.tar.gz</A><BR>
<BR>
And I grabbed Rob Caeler's patch from here:<BR>
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=73219&atid=537127&file_id=68247&aid=794328">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=73219&atid=537127&file_id=68247&aid=794328</A><BR>

I have three boxes at work using ivtv drivers built from this combination. Occasionally, the drivers aren't initialized properly, and I either have to reboot or rmmod the ivtv related modules (i2c_algo_bit, i2c_core, tuner, videodev, ivtv, saa7115, msp3400) and modprobe ivtv. These three machines do simple, straightforward capture using "cat /dev/v4l/video0 > test.mpg". Shows you how sophisticated I am.<BR>
<BR>
I have another machine at home that I'm using as a MythTV box, and it decided to skip recording of several shows last weekend. I haven't been home much the last two weeks because of work and Christmas, but I suspect some of the fault lies with MythTV. I couldn't get 0.13 working, so I fell back to 0.12.<BR>
<BR>
Hopefully after the first week of January, I'll have some time to contribute some documenation for all of this. I have a project deadline on January 7th that I'm scrambling through the holidays to meet, so I'm too scatterbrained at the moment to be more verbose.<BR>
