Sorry for being unclear, but that's a run time dependency.

There are no special build dependencies. I think the current behavior
with not checking makes sense since there is already a clear
separation between build and run time. For instance, the other vidix
drivers doesn't check if such a pci driver is enabled in the kernel,
right?

I guess most people who may be interested in this driver will cross
compile, so the kernel version check doesn't help much there either.

Or do you really want me to add a check to the configure script?

Thanks!
