V4L: results

[Bas Rijniersce]

Hi,

Well, I have good news and bad news :) The goods news is that the
driver/module loads OK:

Nov  3 09:59:46 brainbox kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Nov  3 09:59:47 brainbox kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, dma 3
[SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
Nov  3 09:59:47 brainbox kernel: parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to
enable interrupt-driven operation.
Nov  3 10:01:40 brainbox kernel: V4L Parport CPiA Webcam driver (C) 1999
P.Pregler v0.3
Nov  3 10:01:40 brainbox kernel:   using DMA mode (irq 7, DMA 3)
Nov  3 10:01:40 brainbox kernel:   CPIA Version: 1.20 (2.0)
Nov  3 10:01:40 brainbox kernel:   CPIA PnP-ID: 0553:0002:0100
Nov  3 10:01:40 brainbox kernel:   VP-Version: 1.0 0100

The bad news is that gqcam and vidcat crash my machine after they have
fetched one image. How it looks: gqcam start OK. I see the control
buttons etc, there is a excellent looking picture from the cam. But
that's it, the machine is locked solid. No ping, no
Control-Alt-Backspace, no VT switching.
I downloaded w3cam en tried vidcat. I just entered ./vidcat at the
prompt to get some help. But it produced a screen of garbage (i guess
that was the jpg :) and it also locks solid.
Then I loaded evyrhing except the ppv4l module and loaded the old
module, clients/main still works OK (nothing changed there?).

This machine:
Abit BP6
Dual Celeron 333
128 Mb PC100 mem
Linux 2.2.13/RH 6.0 + updates
Creative Webblaster II

I think we are lucky that it gets at least one image, I guess that it
makes tracking down the problem easier :) Do you have any suggestions on
what to try. I can dump printk's in the module to get some output on
where it crashes?

Bas
