Does anyone know offhand if the SuSE kernels come with the DC10+ video capture card driver these days? (i.e. this one: http://www.cicese.mx/~mirsev/Linux/DC10plus, not the ancient, broken zoran one which has been in standard kernels for years now). Failing that, where can I find the list of patches applied to the SuSE kernel in 8.0? -- 9:52am up 9 days, 31 min, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.11, 0.09

If you install the kernel source rpm (by which I mean the rpm called k_dflt.src.rpm, *not*, repeat *not*, the one called kernel-source.rpm :) you'll get a directory called /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/patches. In there are the patches that get applied when you compile the rpm. Now that I look at it, I can't actually find that src.rpm on the CDs, but it is there for the new kernel in YOU. //Anders

Hmm, yeah, that package isn't on the disks for 8.0. Either they've hidden the patches file somewhere or they've made a bit of an oversight in omitting it. -- 11:26am up 9 days, 2:04, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01

There's more than one source rpm missing from the CDs. Only the other day I was looking for the sources for util-linux, but they weren't there. I found them on the ftp site though. The source rpm for the new kernel in the updates directory on the ftp site is there though, you may want to upgrade to that kernel anyway. As I understand it it contains bug fixes. //Anders

Theres two kernel packages in the updates directory I'm not sure about: k_smp and k_psmp. At a guess, k_smp is the SMP kernel for lower end dual CPU boxen, and k_psmp is for Pentium class SMP boxen. Do you know offhand if that's right? (Did anyone actually make dual 486 machines?) -- 12:06pm up 9 days, 2:45, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.03, 0.00

I only know what the package description says, which is that it's the other way around. k_smp is for newer machines, and k_psmp is for "older processors without PAE mode (eg. Pentium classic)" I'm running k_smp on a dual Athlon 1600+ //Anders

Search your installation-medium for "dc10". There is a rpm that basically is the right driver for the card. I've used it successfully with the SuSE 2.4.18, though I prefer building my own up-to-date kernel. Good luck! /Adam

dc10 found nothing, but "zoran" did. The driver is in the SuSE kernel and the package provides the loader script. Looks like a go-er! :o) -- 11:20am up 9 days, 1:59, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.00, 0.00
