>(packages dvgrab, libavc1394-dev). Here is list of modules I'm using
>(kernel 2.4.28):

kernel 2.6.11-rc1 ATM. Box somewhat resembles an FC2 upgraded box.

dvgrab doesn't work. I get the impression its looking for a bunch
of /dev/dv/* stuffs that I don't have. And no docs on how to
generate them that I've been able to find by grepping the kernel
srcs.

kino goes through the motions ok, but doesn't actually do anything.

And I just now got gscanbus to compile, by making the two long text
messages into one big line vs the 4 lines they took up in the srcs.

But it doesn't seem to want to show me anything, saying the resource
is currently unavailable. And it must be killed by focusing on the
shell that launched it and giving it a ctrl-c. It did show some info
the first time I ran it with the camera turned off, but hasn't shown
anything since it was turned on and a tape started in play mode.
But with it turned off again, I can click on the S400 button and get
this in a seperate report window:

And turning the camera back on freezes it up again with the resource
temporarily unavailable messages scrolling off screen rapidly.

Are there any clues there for a more experienced user to work with?
