Chuckle, I guess thats clear enough. And I suppose its nothing so simple as cleaning out the 2.4 usb dir and copying the devel dir in and maybe tweaking the .config.in file? >Also, you're underestimating the amount of time and work required to > make the changes discussed in this thread.

No, I'm aware that these things do take time, and that sometimes too many cooks can screw it up. I've walked around in there just enough to understand that in terms of organization, it needs help, but thats the one thing I'm generally pretty poor at. But I had to ask the question anyway. :) Sort of a pre-emptive question I guess. And that 2.4.24 I assume will be sometime after an offical 2.6.0 is out, given its current rate of progress. I was asking because I've got a wierdness here that seems almost random in that an unsupported camera attached to a usb port is sometimes found, and sometimes not, depending on the phase of the moon and the goats state of estrus, but can be made 100% dependable by turning on the verbose usb debugging. That of course completely swamps the dmesg buffer so all the early boot info is lost. I don't know enough about it to fix it myself, so I'm sitting here in lurk mode 99% of the time. Once I can get its recognition solid, and if I ever get in touch with Sunplus and get a data sheet on the ASIC thats in that camera, (we've been playing phone tag for 2 weeks now) then I might take a swing or 7 at fixing that qcamvc driver to run this chipset too. In other words, I know just enough C to be dangerous. :-) Thanks. -- Cheers Alan, gene gheskett at wdtv dot com 99.27% setiathome rank, not too bad for a WV hillbilly ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
