Ok, it's a bit misleading. Maybe kernel version 2.6.12 or even 2.6.11
might be useful. Get a video4linux snapshot and build in addition with
make DVB=1; make install, then reboot. If cx88-blackbird is loaded
instead og cx88-dvb, then a quick rmmod cx88-blackbird; modprobe cx88-
dvb is necessary. 

If proper /dev nodes are not created, then you need an udev fix as well,
but get the modules compiled and loaded first.

When building a very recent video4linux snapshot, you might need to
replace a constant PCI_D0 with 0 in bttv-driver.c line 3992 to get it to
compile cleanly under kernel 2.6.10.

To avoid gettng the cx88-blackbird module getting loaded automatically,
comment out the lines that contain that module name
in /lib/modules/2.6.10/modules.alias. The problem is that they have the
same pci ids.
