    Hi Jean,

    thanks for the reply.

    I indeed don't test RC/MM kernels. I'm fairly happy with the current
    driver status, so I'm not doing any active new development on it. I run
    standard Fedora kernels with CVS of the driver (which is the same as
    what's in 2.6.10).

    I have this card, but it's no in my computer (not enough PCI slots). Last
    test is from a few months back. Other people (co-developers) test this for
    me whenever I make small driver changes. They report that it works,
    whatever that means. ;). I know they regularly use it for capture, so at
    least MJPEG capture and overlay display has to work to some degree. Output
    may be untested.

    I have those two. Both work fine. I test raw capture, MJPEG capture and
    overlay display at least once a week. I don't get an oops on the DC10. I
    haven't tested output lately. I basically only test output when I make
    changes to the relevant modules, and I haven't done that lately. Last time
    I tested it (which must be around the time the driver was integrated into
    the kernel, so before 2.6.0...), it worked for me.

    See Buz.

    My experience is not the same as yours, it seems... I cannot explain why,
    unfortunately. Again, I'm sure your patch is correct, I'm just reporting
    that I'm not seeing the same thing that you're seeing.
