Description Per Wigren 2002-10-15 04:01:45 UTC

This is a request to include the video4linux v2-api patch to gentoo-sources! It
is well tested and only adds the v4l2 API, not any drivers or anything else.. It
applies cleanly to gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9 with only a #6 line offset on
ksyms.h and works great. It is also backwards-compatible with v4l v1.
It's found here: http://bytesex.org/patches/v4l2-api-2.4.19.diff and is required
to compile any v4l2-driver such as bttv v0.8.x, which is turn is required for
stable VBI (Teletext, Closed Caption etc) support for TV-tuners..

Here you can also find versions for post-2.4.19-kernels:

in the latest lolo-sources, please test.

I just tried this, and the kernel compiled fine, but I could not get bttv 0.9.2
or 0.9.3 to compile against it.
