I really hate workin with modules. My kernel is configured for my 
periferals only so there is no advantage to modules for me. I consider 
them to be a pain. However I have never compiled stv0299 into the kernel 
or as modules deliberatly (only now unwantedly)

I belive I did. However at the time I was trying to soft out problems 
with udev
