Hi Dave, You must either - generate a full kernel, - or build the video stuff from a linuxtv git repository, - or get and build the last gspca tarball from my web site. In the two last cases, the linux headers of your kernel must be installed (in Debian, these are splitted into three packages 'linux-headers-2.6.38-..' and 'linux-kbuild-2.6.38'). -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
