#35 RivaTV will not compile in recent kernels

[Ben Klein]

Just tried to compile latest CVS and I get the attached make errors.

I WOULD be trying a release, but since CVS-2006-04-29 refused to compile with even MORE errors ... and I had to change the configure script to get that far too!

As you should be able to see, I'm running Linux kernel 2.6.21.

Hi,
I'm trying to make rivatv work here in 2.6.22.6.
I'll post any patch I wrote here, since rivatv-devel email list seens to be down.
