Hi Guys, Thanks to dmitriy and Ronald, i've got the prod I needed, and have got my DC10 up and running. Just for the sake of completing this thread for the archives, with my Suse 9.0 installation, I needed to add the following to my grub bootloader file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) kernel (hd0,3)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 splash=silent desktop showopts bigpages=10MB mem=366M bigphysarea=4096 As my free total memory was 376M under normal operation, thats where I got the bigpages/mem values from. Then when loading the driver via the ./update dc10plus PAL script, I modified it, so it was setting v4l_bufsize=4096 on the modprobe path. I could then open the device quite happily and use it to capture stills. Perfect! Thanks again for your help guys, I can finally use my DC10 which had been thrown in the junk drawer up until now. <andy @ thebmwz3.co.uk> http://www.thebmwz3.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
