I want to get some devices working, but it seems I need to compile the

Q: Is there somewhere that keeps compiled drivers for various versions
of the [Debian] kernel to save users from having to download all that
source code and fiddle around?

The drivers are:
- QuickCam Messenger USB (qc-usb 0.6.4 might work, AFAIK, but needs
kernel source to compile against!)

Then apt-get install the 2.6.8 source deb.

- S3 Unichrome Via (seems to need complete X-Windows source code tree to
compile against!)

Ditto. There are "-dev" debs for X.

- I'm using Debian 3.1r1 with kernel 2.6.8 (but could downgrade to the
other supplied kernel 2.4.27 if necessary)

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
