The author of this module seems to no longer be maintaining it and this noble person was kind enough to fix a device offset problem with this hack http://tibit.org/video/vloopback-0.90-tibit.tar.gz It's normally very simple to use, do "make" then "insmod vloopback.o pipes=2" to set up an output to another program from a v4l device. The registered devices can then be seen with "dmesg" I had an earlier problem with it on a Red Hat 7.3 because loadable module support was not enabled on my system, but now I can't get it to build on RH 8.0 and I get the following verbse message http://home.swbell.net/pannomat/Groovy/vloopback_make_error.txt Can anyone help me on this? The above author said I needed to have the kernel headers installed but he was unfamilliar with rh 8.0 and couldn't help me further. Can anyone offer me a few suggestions? Daniel, Apart from the hacks you describe, you also need to change "LINUXSRC" in the Makefile to: LINUXSRC=/usr/src/linux-2.4 This is the correct location for the kernel on RH8.0. As shipped, the Makefile refers to the old location: LINUXSRC=/usr/src/linux I've had vloopback & motion working fine here for over a week on RH8.0 I hope this helps. -- Dave Garry, Daemon Solutions Ltd
