Hello.
I'll take the easy question. For the 2.6 kernel, you have
to update /etc/modprobe.conf instead of modules.conf. The
format is also entirely different. Grumble grumble.
Here is mine, as best as I can remember... :)
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
Options ivtv tuner=2 debug=1
Options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
install ivtv {/sbin/modprobe tuner ; /sbin/modprobe msp3400
; /sbin/modprobe saa7127; } && /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install ivtv;
Remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv &&
{/sbin/modprobe -r tuner ; /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 ;
/sbin/modprobe -r saa7127; }
Hope that helps, and good luck.
