The problem is that gspca now is part of the v4l-dvb tree, so when you build it now you rebuild the entire v4l subsystem really, this means that you must make sure that all v4l modules, including videodev.ko are unloaded before trying to modprobe for example gspca_pac207, so that the new version of videodev.ko gets loaded. This has been working fine for me both with older and newer kernels (on Fedora), so if you are really sure no old modules are loaded, it might be there is something funny / weird going on with the way your distribution provides kernel sources for building out of tree modules (as Thierry hints at). To give you an idea, here is how I test gspca: --- begin test.sh --- #!/bin/bash set -e make sudo make install sudo rmmod gspca_sonixb || : sudo rmmod gspca_spca501 || : sudo rmmod gspca_spca561 || : sudo rmmod gspca_pac207 || : sudo rmmod gspca_pac7311 || : sudo rmmod gspca_ov519 || : sudo rmmod gspca_zc3xx || : sudo rmmod gspca_main || : sudo rmmod tuner || : sudo rmmod msp3400 || : sudo rmmod bttv || : sudo rmmod compat_ioctl32 || : sudo rmmod videodev || : sudo rmmod v4l1_compat || : sudo rmmod ir_common || : sudo modprobe gspca_main debug=15 sudo modprobe gspca_sonixb sudo modprobe gspca_spca501 sudo modprobe gspca_spca561 sudo modprobe gspca_pac207 sudo modprobe gspca_pac7311 sudo modprobe gspca_ov519 sudo modprobe gspca_zc3xx sudo modprobe bttv --- end test.sh --- Regards, Hans -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
