[ATrpms-users] ivtv saa7127 missing module?

[David Dotson]

Could the problem be that I'm using kernel 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6? I found a
saa7134 module, should I be using that?

That's probably normal: It means rmmod didn't find anything to
remove. It's more important to see what the modprobe did or didn't do.

It shouldbe part of your kernel by now.
