Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2004-09-20 11:30:22 UTC
please only use modprobe not insmod; insmod doesn't resolve
dependencies...


Comment 2 Andy Shevchenko 2004-09-20 12:02:53 UTC
I have got the same result. Insmod in previous message is just shower,
not real usage.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2004-09-20 12:13:34 UTC
are you sure you got that quickcam.o from us ?? I don't see us
shipping it...


Comment 4 Andy Shevchenko 2004-09-20 13:26:20 UTC
Big, big sorry, I have confused due to start of my own built kernel.
