Ahh Linus, but sometimes we do! In any case, rc5 is missing this patch,
the "v4l_ena_tda9887.patch" reproduced below:

So my pcHDTV-3000 card is once again disabled.

NACK.

Linus, Please DO NOT apply this as it is here... This same change above had to also be applied to the FusionHDTV3 Gold-T ... I've already applied the appropriate changes to cvs, and Mauro told me that he has mailed the patches to Andrew, although I do not see them here yet on LKML ....

I get the feeling you're not even close to releasing 2.6.15, so I'm sure the bugfix that Gene is waiting for will make it over to your tree soon, along with some other small v4l fixes that we had to make in order to account for changes in -rc4.

Gene, in the meantime, you can fix your situation without changing any code by simply issuing the following command:

modprobe tda9887

Ta - da! Magic!

Cheers,
