Hi,

this is probably a FAQ but I looked through the docs and the list
archive but didn't find a definite answer.

I'm trying to get my miro DC30 to work with the driver included in
kernel 2.6.12 (actually it already functions quite well).
But it seems that I'm hitting a hardware bug with my zoran/mainboard
chipset (Intel 440BX) combination, at least that's what dmesg tells me
after loading the module with this command:

  modprobe zr36067 card=3 v4l_bufsize=512 v4l_nbufs=32
.

  DC30[0]: ZR36057/Natoma bug, max. buffer size is 128K

So my simple question: is the buffer size limited to 128K because of
/this/ bug or can it be changed somehow? As you can see I already tried
to use some options while loading the module, without success.
Somewhere on this list it was mentioned that a buffer size of 512K is
necessary to capture with full PAL resolution in a good quality -
obviously it would be nice if that would be possible here ;-).
At least with the Windows driver this seems to work on my system so I'm
not sure how serious this hardware bug really is. Maybe someone could
explain this a bit further?

Thanks to the whole team for the mjpegtools and zoran drivers!

Regards,
Malte
