You are right; I didn't - thanks. Adding it (a whole story in itself)
didn't help, though. dmesg gives me:
LML33[0]: No bigphysarea_patch present, usage of high memory disabled.
LML33[0]: sorry, could not allocate V4L buffers of size 1280 KB.
LML33[0]: zoran_open: v4l_fbuffer_alloc failed
This repeated three more times.
I _know_ I have reserved memory from kernel startup, and plenty of it.
Is there something else I need to do?
More generally, it feels as if I've totally missed some document that
everybody else has found that explains a lot of these things. I have
some stuff, but a lot seem to be factually wrong to such an extent I
hardly dare look at it (all explanations of how to set it up in
modues.conf certainly doesn't work, for example).
