BT848 video support dropped in 2.6.9?

BT848 video support dropped in 2.6.9?

[Markus Trippelsdorf]

The "BT848 video for linux" item does not show up
with menuconfig in the "Video for linux" category.
It was there in all previous kernels that I've used.
Am I missing something obvious?

config VIDEO_BT848
	depends on VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && FW_LOADER

Therefore you need those options or else you wont even be allowed to try 
to turn the option on.

You might try using 'make xconfig' as it is there in mine, currently 
set to build as a module and works quit well.

Thanks Con. 
The FW_LOADER option is new. In previous kernels the driver
depended on:
config VIDEO_BT848
tristate "BT848 Video For Linux"
depends on VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C && SOUND

I think the FW_LOADER dependency is there by mistake.
So I just edited the drivers/video/Kconfig file and replaced
FW_LOADER with SOUND. Everything is working as expected now.

Or you can do `make menuconfig' then hit "/BT848".  I love that feature!

Now _that_ is cool! I wish I had known about that a long time ago.
