Hi maybe you can help me here, when you say Linux 8.0 , which distribution du you refer to ? RedHat ?
I am trying to compile the driver on RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18 and run in to an incompatibility with the video_device structure which no longer has a 'busy' field. A similar problem was reported by Arno Wilhelm on April 14. for the 2.4.19-pre6 kernel.
