The saa7134 driver
==================
Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ...
As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a
list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card
configuration info.

Once you pick up a Kernel source, you should configure, build,
install and boot the new kernel. You'll need at least
these config options::

make && make modules_install && make install
Once the new Kernel is booted, saa7134 driver should be loaded automatically.
Depending on the card you might have to pass ``card=<nr>`` as insmod option.

Once you have your card type number, you can pass a modules configuration
via a file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
distribution), with this content::
options saa7134 card=13 # Assuming that your card type is #13
