I have 2 questions.
1) Who is working on the webcam II cpia driver. Under NT I can get 15
to 25 fps, while Linux seems to be limited to 15 max. Is this a hard
coded value in the lernel somewhere and is there plans for changing
this? (I know that this is an experimental driver, but rebooting

Igmar,
Thanks for attempting to validate that the problem is fixed in a
later release. However, I still stand by my submission.
If the readers will note, the problem is in 2.2.14 and

Hi. I've had great success with your VIA 82Cxxx in 2.4test9 on a new
system I'm helping a friend setup for his mom. Unfortunately, I'm not
having so much luck with the rest of 2.4.
Because of general stability issues, I need to move back to 2.2 on this
system.
However, the VIA 82Cxxx driver

In reviewing your patch, I noticed more ugliness. Can you be convinced
to take care of these, too?
In acpi_init(), it is possible for the function to error exit without
cleaning up from a successful acpi_claim_ioports call.
Further, acpi_claim_ioports itself is pretty nasty

Hi,
I found a bug on the 2.4.0-test8 release:
I was not able to build linux-2.4.0-test8 on my dual PIII box if I did NOT choose the
"smp support".
Here is the compile error message:

this function)
This is a proposal for a simple way of adding streams support to the Linux

It was inspired by a recent discussion in the #kernelnewbies IRC channel, and
by the recent talk about the subject in the Linux Kernel mailing lists. I

This patch fixes two little bugs in the IA32 machine check handler, it's against
2.2.17pre7.
The first bug is that the MC0_MISC is at address 403H, the second is that
wmb() as implemented in IA32 doesn't serialize, a lock on the bus as
given from mb() will serialize instead.

The fix is to change, in arch/sparc64/kernel/setup.c:

to:

Shows how much this facility is used on sparc64 :-)
