632 | What: video4linux /dev/vtx teletext API support | ||
633 | When: 2.6.35 | ||
634 | Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c | ||
635 | include/linux/videotext.h | ||
636 | Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes | ||
637 | for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support. | ||
638 | Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249 | ||
639 | has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware | ||
640 | that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically | ||
641 | supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked. | ||
642 | |||
643 | In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there | ||
644 | are no applications actually implementing this API. | ||
645 | |||
646 | The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really | ||
647 | like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely | ||
648 | event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality | ||
649 | provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build | ||
650 | around the sliced VBI API instead. | ||
