Yes, the 0.2.9 drivers won't work on 2.4.20, according to this blurb from http://bytesex.org/v4l/build.html : > Note: for the latest driver snapshots you need cutting edge > 2.4.22-pre / 2.6.0-testx kernel patches. But like Hermann said, it shouldn't be a problem to get it working in 0.2.8, which works with 2.4.20. > It's too bad that Medion did not put ready-to-use Linux drivers on the > CDROM, like they do for "that other operating system".

Philips is pretty forthcoming with specifications, and at least it's working now :) The patches / new drivers will trickle into the stock kernels and distribution kernels in a while, and then the card should be supported out of the box in newer distributions.
