saa7127 missing from kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.i686?

[ryanlists79 at gmail.com]

Just for archiving purposes, because it took forever to find out what 
happened and a solution, I found another thread elsewhere that dealt 
with this problem.  It's true that 2.6.19-1.2895 is missing saa7127, 
along with a few other drivers that are crucial to the hauppauge 350 and 
mythtv.  The solution is to install video4linux-kmdl-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.  
This supposedly will add the missing modules back into place for ya.  I 
still want to know why they were left out in the first place, cause this 
was really annoying.  I mean seriously, wtf?

Here's a link to the other thread:
