Hi, >Well, we still need the patch irrespective of what you are doing with >the tuner code.

I've been kicking it around in my head, I cannot see why INTs need to be disabled in the I2C calls, just did it because the bttv driver did. Someone might try removing those disableint(0 enableint() calls to see if anything breaks. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
