[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



   Hi again, then, if i load a new kernel (2.4.18 / 2.4.19) in my PC under
Red Hat 7.1, i reach the API runs correctly? Sorry for my insistence but
i only need that my card (Matrox Meteor II) works and it doesn't because
driver needs v4l2 API to run. The install process' messages were about unresolved
symbols with functions like "register_chrdev". 
   Please, help me!
