I've used it from kernel 2.4.0 until 2.4.17 with little problems >(when videodev_register_device() was changed we had to patch it but >besides that, it's always worked fine). Why would it only work with >kernel 2.4.17? I have no idea. It compiles fine under 2.4.17. It dies under 2.4.2-2. I'm not a kernel hacker, which is kind of my point. I'm down with the notion that every little package and update cannot be supported. What I think a lot of folks need is a list of _all_ the package and the versions that go together for a complete install. For example: kernel 2.4.17 quicktime4linux1.3 mjpegtools-1.5-20011611 etc... Plus, some packages need to be installed in a certain order because of dependencies as stated before: >Compiling mjpegtools *is* a nightmare, and we know that.

I'd be happy to host a site that would be a 'success' story venue where folks might put up in 'blogger' fashion complete stories of how they got things working. r.b.
