Yep: the code isn't present in the source tree either :)

I get teletext off the BT848 chip anyway. Note that devices.{tex,txt} lie
about the minor numbers - a quick look at the source code reveals that the
minor number for /dev/bttv-vbi0 is in fact 224, not 32 as listed.

You used either make xconfig or make menuconfig. Use "make config" instead.
Alternatively, run "make oldconfig" after using the broken one.

That's just because i2c doesn't get enabled, IIRC.
