the current ov511 driver module included in latest kernel package is quite old 
now ( v1.48) 

i've compiled and tested v1.51 with success and Mustek WCam3X and Creative 
Webcam 3 USB un der this kernel :


using the following module configuration :

alias char-major-81-0 ov511
post-install ov511 insmod ov511_decomp
options ov511 compress=1
pre-remove ov511 rmmod ov511_decomp

and loading the module we have : 

# modprobe ov511
Using /lib/modules/2.4.17-14mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/usb/ov511_decomp.o

xawtv and gnomemeeting then work with /dev/v4l/video0.


********* So I think it's time to update ov511 to level 1.51 in KERNEL now 
*********

BTW: The only problem i have is :  how do i configure devfs and modules.conf 
in order to automatically load ov511 when some process wants to use 
/dev/v4l/video0 ? is it possible ?
