Yes, I've compiled the kernel and it works. I'm currently using version 0.1.6 of the driver (with the older v4l2 patches). I've tried the latest version (0.2.2), but sound didn't work correctly, and the system (PAL) was not detected correctly. With version 0.1.6, all works OK on my system except for these problems: - Video capture (with streamer) hangs the system, however capturing images seems to work OK. - The remote control does not work at all, and is not supported by Lirc (yet?).
