Hi there,

Reading the instructions here: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ it says:
"Instructions to build and install drivers from the linuxtv.org trees are
available on linuxtv.org.", with the link point to:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_Mercurial.

However, that page doesn't exist! :(

I am looking for instructions to upgrade the default uvcvideo driver that comes
with Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-11-generic). I found some other instructions
here: http://rafanto.net/tag/ubuntu/page/2/ which list the following commands:

"make uvcvideo &&
sudo install uvcvideo.ko -v -m644 /lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko &&
sudo make install &&
sudo cp -av /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko
/lib/modules &&
sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)"

But that was against a SVN snapshot, but I assume this will work with the latest
Mercurial snapshot too?

How can I verify that the driver has indeed been updated? I tried previously,
only to see modinfo return a change in the srcversion hash - is that enough?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Damien.
