Using lirc compiled into kernel

[Cameron M. <ca...@mc...>]

Hi list.

[Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.  Thanks!]

I'm trying to get lirc working with my 2.6.0-test9 kernel.  I found a
patch on the mailing list that let me get lirc compiling with this
kernel properly.  I'm finding it isn't working, though.  The lirc stuff
is being compiled in, not as a module.

Since I have a WinFast 2000 XP, I'm using the lirc_gpio driver.  The
driver calls on the services of the bttv driver, but at the time the
lirc driver is initialised, bttv hasn't been.  I can see this by looking
at the output of dmesg, in which the lirc stuff happens before the bttv
stuff.  As a result, the lirc_gpio code doesn't detect any card.

Is there a way I can get the bttv stuff to happen before the lirc stuff
without compiling stuff into modules?

Thanks,

Cameron
