Well. I just discovered two nasty things:

1) "rivafb" framebuffer does not play nice with NVIDIA closed-source X
drivers; quitting X causes the machine to lock hard if you're using
"rivafb"  =(

2) Andrea's wonderful VM changes in 2.4.10 in conjunction with major
bugginess in the Intel USB camera driver causes the machine to lock hard;
I "regressed" to 2.4.10-ac1 and the camera driver "seems" to work --
"seems" because it loads, it spits out debug data when I try to snapshot..
but it doesn't take pictures at all.  =(

I'm tempted to just use my Epson digital camera for my little webcam toy
project.. it's very slow to capture (1.0-megapixel, and the transfer
medium is SERIAL PORT), it's big and heavy, the resolution is too high for
a mere webcam, but at least it works.  =(
