Hm, I just removed that question from the FAQ, I guess I shouldn't do that. The old FAQ (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/Zoran, line 156-180) still contains the necessary info. In short, install kernel 2.4.20, apply the bigphysarea patch and use a lilo/grub boot option to reserve some physically contiguous memory at bootup. The driver will then use this. By standard, the maximum physically contiguous allocatable memory is 128 kB, which is exactly enough for 320x202 @ 16bpp (YUY2) grabbing. ;).
