1.1       hunold      1: Instructions for building the "new" driver under 2.5.x:
                      2: -------------------------------------------------------
                      3: 
                      4: (This won't work with *2.4.x*, so don't even try...)
                      5: 
1.3     ! hunold      6: You need a kernel >= 2.5.53.
1.1       hunold      7: 
                      8: 0) Some changes are already disucussed with Gerd Knorr, but have
                      9: not been applied to the main kernel tree.
                     10: 
                     11: Because of this, you need to apply the following patches to your
                     12: kernel tree before configuring and building it:
                     13: 
                     14: - 00_knorr_v4l1_compat.patch   : adds the v4l1-compat module to the kernel
                     15: - 01_video-buf.patch           : moves video-buf to another location
                     16: 
                     17: 1) Call "./makelinks <your-kernel-directory>. This will copy and link the
                     18: driver files to your kernel.
                     19: 
                     20: 2) Next, use "make menuconfig" or whatever and select the av7110 driver.
1.3     ! hunold     21: If you have problems with modules and 2.5.x you can also compile the driver
        !            22: statically into the kernel.
1.2       hunold     23: 
1.1       hunold     24: Build and install the new kernel as usual.
                     25: 
                     26: 3) For your convenience, a script called "driver.av7110" is available
1.3     ! hunold     27: to load and unload the driver easily. (Of course this is only valid if you
        !            28: compiled the driver as a module...)
1.1       hunold     29: 
                     30: Use "./driver.av7110 start" to start the driver, "./driver.av7110 stop" to
1.3     ! hunold     31: stop and unload it. ("./driver.av7110 restart" unloads the driver and loads 
        !            32: the driver with all debugging options enabled)
1.1       hunold     33: 
                     34: 4) Try your favourite programs, the behaviour should be exactly the same.
                     35: Good luck!
                     36: 
                     37: If you have problems or questions:
                     38: 
1.3     ! hunold     39: 1) Look at the TODO file. If the problem is mentionend there,
1.1       hunold     40: it will be fixed asap.
                     41: 
                     42: 2) Ask on the mailing list or mail me at <michael@mihu.de>
                     43: 
                     44: Michael Hunold.
