Hi Jack, First, thanks for your support, I'm now able to load the 'videodevX' driver, but now I've got a problem to compile the 'matroxXXXXXX' specific driver, because running the included Makefile leads to an error: via.c:3659: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[2]: *** [via.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/meteor2' make[1]: *** [_mod_/root/meteor2] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.2' make: *** [this_module] Error 2 I don't know, whether the occurring error has something to do with the last warning or not. But I'm wondering why this error occurs at all! Perhaps you have an idea? To your question concerning good framegrabber cards: We paid for our matrox meteor 2 multichannel card about 1000€ in december 2001. It is one of the best cards we are using and testing at the institute (and we are testing more than just one :-) ! ). Thanks to you once again, ewald.
