I am aware that this is a > known issue, but I have a couple of questions: Effectively, it _is_ from compiling under a different kernel. The modules from v4l-dvb, like videodev.ko, were compiled using the source from v4l-dvb. The out of tree quickcam driver was compiled using the source from your kernel. videodev.ko and quickcam.ko were compiled with different versions of header files they both use, like videodev.h, and so the two modules will not work together. You have this same problem if you try to compile the latest ALSA sources and use those modules with a sound driver that isn't part of the ALSA source. A solution would be the use the "make kernel-links" command in v4l-dvb, which will install the v4l-dvb source into your kernel source. Now if you compile quickcam against that upgraded kernel source, it should use the same headers that v4l-dvb used, and so work with the v4l-dvb modules. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
