Arrrgh I see. Proprietary ones I suppose… skype perhaps? But it is very annoying to _depend_ on a module for 32bits, no? I mean Linux 64 is well supported and should be able to cut totally from 32… But I suppose it does not exist a way to make a module optional. As to run mplayer 32 on my 64 is ends on segfault. Now, how do the other drivers, they load compat_ioctl32 too? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Lets make microdia webcams plug'n play, (currently plug'n pray) To post to this group, send email to [email protected] Visit us online https://groups.google.com/group/microdia -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
