Hi, Many thanks for pointing this out.
Earlier the vmix module was automatically removed in older systems that didn't have compatible CPU. The ossdetect utility checked if the vmix module was available in the system and used older softoss module if it was missing. This check failed because vmix was renamed tgo oss_vmix. Now after the softoss module has been removed from OSS 4.1 there is no need to have that check. I have updated the hg repository. However I'm out of my office so I cannot test the change. Please remind me if there are any problems.
