<pre wrap="">I've been doing some kernel upgrades on my backend machines, and I'm
having problems getting some of my video devices to appear with new
locally-built kernels. In particular:
1) My master backend includes a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 500, but I
can't seem to find an IVTV driver option for the 3.7.9 kernel I'm
trying to compile. The source files seem to be present in the
source tree, but I can't seem to find an option to make them
compile, and when I boot into the new kernel, the /dev/video*
files for the WinTV-PVR 500 are missing.
2) My slave backend has a pcHDTV HD-3000, but I can't seem to find
a way to compile the CX88 drivers that it requires. As with the
WinTV-PVR 500 on my frontend, the <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>dev/dvb<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>* device files don't
appear when I boot into a 3.7.9 kernel. I see various CX88
files in the kernel source tree; I just can't find a way to
activate them for compilation.
Both of these devices work fine with my old kernels (3.3.2 on the
frontend, 3.5.7 on the backend); I just can't figure out what's required
to get them to actually compile, and they've been deselected when I
copied my old .config file and did "make oldconfig". There have been a
lot of changes in the setup for video capture devices recently, so I'm
guessing I'm missing something. I've Googled on this, but I've not
turned up anything useful -- just old instructions and links to kernel
source files.
Can anybody provide me with pointers for how to get these drivers to
compile with 3.7.x kernels? Thanks.</pre>

For the PVR-500 on 3.7.x, check for CONFIG_MEDIA_RC_SUPPORT ("remote
controller support") and CONFIG_INPUT ("generic input layer"). I
haven't had to deal with this myself, but my kernel expert told me
that a configuration dependency on these was introduced and both
were required to enable the IVTV config section that you're seeking.<br>
