I have the IOMega Buz working under RedHat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9-31. I was surprise that I didn't have to patch some of the drivers, although they seem to be fairly "updated" under 2.4.9-31 anyway. One interesting issue I am having is with xawtv, both the included 3.54 in 7.2 as well as Rawhide's 3.73. For some reason, after running for awhile, I will lose the normal ~640x480 picture and can only "get it back" if I reduce the xawtv window so it is 128x96! If I try to make it big again, it looses the picture (sometimes with a little, single scan line at the very time) I have _no_idea_ why it happens, but a _cold_reboot_ (complete power-off) seems to be the only way to fix it. But even when it happens, I can still use the lavrec and other MJPEGTools fine to capture. It looks like some kind of "overlay" issue, although I'm not a regular V4L user (this is my first setup). "-debug 2" didn't seem to give me anything different than normal. I think it could be the result of me running another DGA, SDL or other app though. E.g., I got it once after running MPlayer with SDL output, although I couldn't reproduce it after rebooting. So it might be random as well. My mainboard is the Tyan Tiger MP (S2460) with the AMD760MP (762+766 north+south) chipset -- dual-Athlon. My video card is the nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 with the nVidia closed source drivers. I've tried the 1.0-2313, 1.0-2802 and 1.0-2880 drivers and don't make a difference either way. -- Bryan -- Users think UNIX is frustrating because it makes you save and set the "execute bit" on a file before you can run it.
