Bug 90284 – patch for rivatv - remap_page_range not in kernels >=2.6.11

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Bergstein 2005-04-24 13:31:38 UTC]

Although rivatv will build for kernels >=2.6.11, a problem exist due to an obsolete call to remap_page_range in the file v4l-riva.c.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Build new kernel in 2.6.11 series
2.  emerge rivatv
3.  unknown symbol error when module is built - remap_page_range

Actual Results:  
Unkown symbol remap_page_range keeps rivatv module from loading.  Need to patch 
file v4l-riva.c to resolve this issue. 

Expected Results:  
rivatv should build and run normally under kernels newer than 2.6.10. 

A patch that resolves this issue will be attached to this bug report.

It appears to work.  Please commit this to the portage tree ASAP, as lots of people are stuck with nonfunctioning video capture cards right now.

Please try the latest test ebuild for rivatv-0.8.6 which corrects this issue.

Thanks!

I have been running the test ebuild for rivatv-0.8.6 for a while now, and can 
confirm this issue does not apply to the kernel I am running at this time, 
which is 2.6.13-gentoo-r3.

Closing bug will attempt to stabilize 0.8.6 as the new default.
