Which isn't at all stable. Old kino, before a 1394 re-write was started about 18 months ago now, was bulletproof and worked just fine on this exact same hardware. It was very stable when controlling my camera. Now, the two versions compatible with the later libraries etc are both so unstable, doing segfault exits so quickly that the only chance I have of using it is with the last FC5 kernel, running on my lappy. Either 8.0, 0.9.2 or 0.9.3 take a segfault exit, stage right, on about the second mouse click, or even the first on this machine with the latest non-xen kernel(s). I don't think this is kino's fault, particularly since Dan is unable to duplicate it on whatever system(s) he is using. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
