Description Jelle Kalf 2005-09-15 23:05:46 UTC
Currently the ebuild warns of modules in ivtv overlapping the kernel.
So I'd have to delete msp3400.ko, tuner.ko and others from the kernel dir. There
is a nicer way of working arround this problem. 

Is it possible to install the overlapping modules as <modulename>-ivtv.ko
(msp3400-ivtv.ko)? Then just link them in the /etc/modules.d/ivtv file like:

alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv.ko
alias tuner tuner-ivtv.ko

It saves the end user from finding out where the files are and possibly even
from deleting the wrong ones.

Reproducible: Always

Because of dependancies this would require patching the kernel for this specific
solution. It wouldn't work.

Fixed in another manor a long time ago.
