no, not the .o, the .c or maybe .h. look closely and the line number
should also be reported. some symbol on the indicated line is likely
undefined.

also, did you look at the build instructions where it has 2 different
ways to build the src? my recollectionis that prior to some kernel
level, you did it one way, and after that kernel rev, a different way.

check the docs on thedirks.org, they have it spelled out.

might i ask how expensive this card was? i need a target for my
own forays into v4l2 and need a suggestion of a good framegrabber
to start with.

any recommendations? i dont mind if its not already supported as
i want to get my software hands dirty. :D

thanks, jackc...
