Has anyone managed to get the planb driver to work (or better yet, with
the v4l stuff)?  If so, how?  What kernel, what distro, what phase of the
moon?

I have beat my head with Debian and now Yellow Dog to no avail.  My last 
ditch effort was to install YDL 2.3 and then install the RPM's Michel 
offers on his website:

http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/planb.html

I patched the 2.4.18 kernel with the patch he offers above that.  Either 
2.4.18 does not work with that RPM (in which case, it might be nice to 
know) and only works with the 2.2's he offers, or I can only conclude this 
is a cruel joke.  I'm seeing the same thing with the xawtv RPM and 2.4.18 
kernel that I saw under Debian, that being this error:

ioctl: VIDIOCSCHAN(0,Composite,flags=0x0,type=2,norm=3): Invalid argument

I would appreciate if anyone can shed light on how they got the driver /
v4l stuff to work.

At a minimum, until I hear of a good solution I hope someone considering 
using the planb driver on their Macs will think twice.  At least this 
message will be in the archives so others won't devote as much time as I 
have.

Thanks,

Sean...
