Thread: How to use a driver(saa7134) from kernel 2.6.28(ubuntu 9.04) in 2.6.31(ubuntu 9.10)


some change in 2.6.31 kernel driver saa7134-based tv capture cards has made impossible change channels after upgrading ubuntu 9.10. of course makes card pretty useless unless want watch channel 2. want use old, working, driver new kernel. i've reported bug, past experiences have left me little confidence in that.

how can compile , install old saa7134 driver separately kernel package , inhibit 1 in package being used?
how can without getting screwed when ubuntu decides install new kernel package?
why aren't individual drivers maintained independently kernel in linux? (like nvidia drivers example)
