Hi,

I'm still having trouble with my VisionPlus card. I've taken a checkout of
dvb-kernel cvs today, and downloaded a video4linux snapshot from yesterday.

I still have (what I think is) the correct kernel config, i.e. I'm building
the dvb drivers as modules. I've run makelinks from the dvb-kernel source,
and rebuilt my kernel (vanilla 2.6.10.) Then I've built and installed the
bttv driver.

Lspci sees the card just fine. Udev doesn't populate /dev properly, so I've
run MAKEDEV. When I modprobe bttv with or without specifying the card, the
machine locks up hard.

Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help getting this working. It
used to work OK until I went to 2.6.10/udev, although the signal has never
been as good as it is under Windows :(

Cheers,

Jon
