so then
once again, I'm not making any progress here.
this time, my heroic attempts have been thwarted by the mal (as in NOT)
functioning of the bigphysarea patch, I installed it, recompiled my
kernel, set the boot param, but it still won't show anything in proc,
not to mention the fact that the capture card doesn't work.
Besides that, this is what I will usually do
modprobe zoran
modprobe saa7110 #i'm pretty sure that's the right module
xawtv
- at which xawtv will die dramatically with an error message complaining
either about the lack of buffer space in /dev/video0, not being able to
access the device, or the weather.
zapping, which I've also tried, does approximately the same.
again, any input would be appreciated

where exactly ARE the saa* modules (in the kernel config, i mean)?
According to the makefile in th 2.4.17 kernel, the saa7110 module is compiled
with the Miro DC10 modules, the saa7111 module is compiled with the Iomega Buz
module. The makefile should probably be modified to compile both files as well
when the zr36120 module is selected.
If you are using Pauline's 2.4 driver from her website, you get both saa modules.
Note that the main issue I encountered with that code was that the saa7111 module
was broken.
other than that, I can load modprobe, and xawtv doesn't segfault unless
I don't have a video source...
is there anything I have to specify regarding which video input I use?
Channel 0 is selected by default. PAL mode is selected by default, which may
or may not work, depending on your video source.
