Oh! I must realize that I read it before in this list :(, sorry.  

The last release version of the driver does not still support the 18
card, so I finally installed the last snapshot over a 2.6.0-test7.

Things works better now: I get a great color program stream with proper
tables from /dev/video1 as expected :)

VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT ioctl for video0 returns now the correct inputs, but
VIDIOC_QUIERYCAP insist on I have a tuner. Just letting you know since
it is not very important (and I think it's so easy to change, I try it
if I get bored ;)

video1 returns some info for this ioctls too, but I don't know if this
is expected. In fact, according to VIDIO_ENUMINPUT I only have one input
called CCIR656 ... again this is not important I hope.

BTW: I have two minor problems building the driver:
Some calls to dprintk like
	dprintk("hwinit1\n")
makes gcc to complain with a parser error. I just change them as
	dprintk("%s", "hwinit1\n")

And the generated modules have the .o extension so module-init-tools
programs will not properly manage them, I just rename them as .ko

Are anyone working on some ioctls to control the encoding parameters
like bitrate or video size? If not I'll try to add them, but I have a
very poor idea about the driver code yet.

Thanks for your help
