Anyway, I would recommend that you make a safety copy of your modules first (just in case :-) ), and then move all the newly install modules to the right place. Yeah, I generally recommend that in such cases you just rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media before running make

Hi Hans, Well I'll confirm that tomorrow. To me it looks like 320x240 scaled with a corresponding loss of detail. I'll see if I can find a nice test image to use to show the difference clearly in comparison to the stk1160 at the same resolution. The ImpactVCB-e should be better but it isn't.
