Well I've tried with and without the menuconfig -> Device drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux -> Video for Linux -> Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support and I still get this error message upon building a new kernel: UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xb5ad8): In function `pvr_boot': : undefined reference to `request_firmware' drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xb5b52): In function `pvr_boot': : undefined reference to `release_firmware' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 I have search (from /usr/src/linux) for 'pvr' but I find nothing. I had more errors but I nuked many choices under Video4Linux and it seems to have clear up most problems related to building a new kernel that supports the bt878 and bttv, which the LMLBT44 liturature says is needed (for 2.4 kernel installs). I also found this web page with the latest patch for bttv: http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/bttv.html but I'm not sure how to check if this patch has been applied to the 2.6.9.gentoo-r4 sources. If not, I'm not exactly sure how to apply it. V4L seems to quite finicky...... James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
