dvb-kernel or DVB? If it works with 2.4.21-ac1 and dvb-kernel your
v4l_drv.o is OK.

Yes, but you can use some older Xfree source you happen to have on
a distribution CD, and update the v4l driver only. Then
"make World" in the top-level dir, wait some minutes until all
Makefiles have been generated, symlinks have been set up, and
build tools have been built, Ctrl-C, cd to the v4l dir, "make"
and finally copy v4l_drv.o to your X drivers dir.

But like I said above, if dvb-kernel works with 2.4.21-ac1 it's
not the v4l module that's causing you problems. It might still
be useful to build v4l_drv.o with debug enabled to track down
problems. You could also try to load v4l1-compat.o with debug=1.

Maybe you can tell me more specific what you mean by "does not work".

I corrected a bug with v4l2->v4l1 backward compatibility in
saa7146_video.c, so you might want to update that from CVS.
