| |
Some moths ago I've posted a patch for some bug in the bttv package, yet (2.2.10) it hasn't got into the kernel - why?:
1st) the msp3400 driver registered its functions with &funcname instead of funcname which lead into NULL pointers and so silent TV cards with egcs
2nd) I would propose to make the NODGA macro in bttv.c a config option - this is a very useful workaround for all owners of buggy graphic boards - like my Matrox G200 It would be nice If I had an option "Activate workarounds" below "bttv chipset" in make *config - yet I don't know how to do that, so I can't send a patch for that
happy hacking, Konrad Rosenbaum
