No, you have to go in the kernel code as described. The kernel changes so often that maintaining a patch might be a problem.

I got it working, but I see.. keeping the kernel updated with this patch it's very hard

I have another kink of problem now..

On moving images, i have this artifact:



My /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134 i put:

option saa7134 card=37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37,37
blacklist saa7134_alsa

I have 4gb of system memory and 3gb of shared one.

Any suggestion?
