i'd really like to make this simple tweaking..

so i changed the usb ids to the terratec ones:

andrea at nb-venturi:~/src/pvrusb2-mci-20070227/driver$ grep 0x0ccd *.c
pvrusb2-hdw.c:  [PVR2_HDW_TYPE_24XXX] = { USB_DEVICE(0x0ccd, 0x0039) },


but i have to say i see these WARNINGS, doing a clean compilation too of
the pvrusb2 driver:

==================
...
  MODPOST
WARNING: "tveeprom_hauppauge_analog" [.../pvrusb2.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "cx2341x_fill_defaults" [.../pvrusb2.ko] undefined!

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18'
===================

i have to say, i use a 2.6.18 vanilla kernel:

   uname -a
   Linux nb-venturi 2.6.18 #6 PREEMPT Fri Mar 2 12:11:43 CET 2007 i686
GNU/Linux

with a newer v4l-dvb tree dated 2.3.2007 (it's not that far to the 27.2
timestamp of the pvrusb2 release..)

maybe there's an api mismatch in the tveeprom and cx2341x modules?

anyway, i put the pvrusb2 in the /lib/modules... and when i plug the
grabster av400 in the usb bus i can see:

dmesg ============
usb 5-2.2.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13

===================

lsmod ==============
andrea at nb-venturi:~/src/pvrusb2-mci-20070227/driver$ lsmod

tveeprom               13520  0
====================


and the pvrusb2 doesn't get loaded..


what could i do now to have a v4l-dvb in sync with the pvrusb2 driver?


bye
