I did try the compile with the bttv sources with the 2.0.35 kernels and I got the missing : bttv.c:49: linux/vmalloc.h: No such file or directory and it didn't wana compile w/out errors. To put it bluntly, I forget which bttv I tried. So to start me off in the right direction: 1) which bttv driver should I try to compile for my happauge 401 TV/tuner w/radio (stereo) with use with a 2.0.35 kernel ?=20 bttv-0.5.8.tar.gz=20 bttv-current.tar.gz or=20 2) What should I do if I get that missing "vmalloc.h" header file again? or am I missing the point on what to do?

I haven`t asked my brother if the > driver works with that kernel yet. Did you complain to suse about it?=20 > Marcus Yea, that was part of my fustration, no one has replyed about it yet on the SuSE email list. Tho I know prob 20f people have TV/Radio tuner cards. To tell you what SuSE has included of bttv on thier current distro is this: http://www.suse.c= om/Product/lx53/pak_e/paket_bttv.html> and click on Contents. .... **I got alot of docs when installing thier package all that=20 are on that Contents list. That is what I have to deal with If I install the bttv from thier distro. Can you look at the contents and see what I would do about what they installed "for me" thing is I dunno where to begin with it..as its differnet than just grabbing the sources from the normal bttv pages. To me anyways..As the files SuSE installed don't look to me as if they are ment to be compiled like the DOCs that are on my system for it. They look like the normal docs you get with the bttv driver. =20 The files that are not "DOCS" are on my syetem are: /usr/bin/bttvgrab /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttv-0.4.3.dif /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttv-0.4.3.tgz /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/bttvgrab-0.3b.tgz /usr/src/packages/SPECS/bttv.spec bttv.spec looks special..I will attach it are these the instuctions I should follow? and there is a line in there about needing # neededforbuild mmbase mmcore mmslib xpm gpp libgpp I got xpm, gpp, libgpp but I have no clue what mmbase mmcore or mmslibs are.. and what directory to start=20 all this in. Maybe you can help? Steve Udell hettar(a)teleport.com Last thing, the Dev kernels are kinda neat..I'll have to look more into it. As right now I can't hack it. basicly dunno what I am doing exactly with it.
