Sander, I think what the original poster (and several others of us) are wondering is, how exactly does one "use the 0.10 driver from ivtvdriver.org"? I have on a number of occasions tried to install 0.10.x from ivtvdriver.org, only to have Ubuntu continue to load the old 0.10.1 driver. Is it necessary to build a custom kernel in order to take advantage of the DMA fixes?
