Bernhard - Thanks for your reply.
I'm using the zoran driver included in the 2.6.8.1 vanilla kernel, created using a config file from FC2, with config changes made to include SATA support, v4l, and the zoran modules.
lsmod reports the following related to the zoran:
Module Size Used by zr36016 9480 1 zr36050 12296 1 adv7175 9224 0 vpx3220 11400 0 zr36067 132060 0 i2c_algo_bit 12168 1 zr36067 i2c_core 22528 3 adv7175,vpx3220,i2c_algo_bit videocodec 10900 3 zr36016,zr36050,zr36067 videodev 11520 1 zr36067
/etc/modprobe.conf has the following:
options zr36067 card=4 alias char-major-81 zr36067
And after loading the card, /var/log/messages has:

The Dell OptiPlex GX-270 uses the Intel 865G chipset.
Thanks again for the assistance.

Hallo
Anyone with a working DC30+ setup willing/able to give me some pointers on getting started? I can get video thru xawtv although it is very not-right (B&W and looks like bad tracking, but a TV plugged into the VCR has no issues). Following some of the examples in the mjpeg howto (http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/AV/mjpegtools_overview.html) either gets me a segfault or locks my machine completely, requiring the use of the power button.
I'm using a DC30+ in a Dell Optiplex GX-270 running Fedore Core 2 with updated kernel, etc.
Which kernel, zoran driver do you use ? What kind of chipset is in you
Dell ?
And which version of the mjpegtools do you use.
You should use a late 2.6.x kernel if you want to use the DC30, or use
the CVS zorand driver from SF.
When you load the driver it would be interresting if the system wirties something into the log. (/var/log/messages).
When you know that the machine segfaults. What are the last lines, of the messages file (tail) before the machine completly breaks ?
auf hoffentlich bald,
Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter
