I believe the fact that these out-of-tree modules have not yet been rebuilt for the abi changed kernels be a RC bug against them, since it makes the package uninstallable and thus unusable, and worse will probably stop seemless upgrades. Ok, so shall I leave that to you, and I will log wishlist bugs for xawtv and friends? apt-cache search pwc :) Done that already. You mean pwc-source, right? Well, you can either build the pwc package from source (apt-get source -b pwc) and get the new version, or use the pwc-source package to build your own package, both should work, there is also a thingy called module assistant, but i never could make it work. Building from pwc-source using KVERS=2.6.14-2-k7 KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2-k7 debian/rules binary-modules worked just fine.

Also, do we need to reassign this bug to someone else then? Indeed. you should clone it and assign it to your userland tool so it provide uncompression, and maybe to the pwc package so it will build against the newest API. So I should file bugs against xawtv, camstream and gtcam? Cheers, Srdjan Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

These and others probably, but someone probably needs to write a uncompression library which can then be used by those tools.

It works also, but the uncompression has been moved out of the kernel driver, into an hypothetical userland. That said, userland apps have not adapted to it, nor has any userland way of uncompressing it surfaced in any way. That said, the third-party old-pwc module is still there, and needs just to be rebuilt against the 2.6.14-2 abi, and it will do the proper diversion or whatever of the pwc module and work well, so i believe what you see is a pwc external driver package bug which has not yet been rebuild against the new ABI.

Hi Sven, I'm not sure what is the pwc external driver package - I haven't installed anything apart from the kernel in case of 2.6.14-2 and additional modules for 2.6.14-1. Can you please tell me where do I find old-pwc module that I can use meanwhile? Also, do we need to reassign this bug to someone else then?
