[mpeg2] saa7113 driver for other boards

[Thomas <spiralman@softhome.net>]

hmm, i was looking around the net for drivers for my asus v7700 deluxe video 
card, and found that it used the Philips SAA7113 chip to power its video-in 
capabillities.  searching the web, the only linux drivers i could find were 
the ones for the kfir chipset, which include two files called  saa7113.c and 
.h, also, when compiled, one of the modules that is generated is called 
saa7113.  im assuming that this is a driver for the same chipset that is on 
my video card.

i looked at the source code, and it looked like it was somewhat integrated w/ 
the rest of the drivers (although, i dont really know much about linux device 
drivers).

i was wondering how hard it would be to use the driver that has been written 
with other cards that use the chipset (in my case the asus v7700).  would 
there be some rewriting of the driver necessary, also, would it be possible 
to use it w/ the video for linux (1 or 2) interface?

i might be interested in working on this, although, like i said, id have no 
idea what i was doing...

thanks for any advice
