Re: [M560x-driver-support] driver feedback

Hi thanks for the reply!

Here's what I did

1. i downloaded the tar of libv4l-0.4.2. extract it and do a make then make install. i then set the environment variables needed.

2. i compiled inside of m560x/branch/m5602/ by make then make install. 
rmmod m5602
modprobe videodev #seems to do nothing
modprobe v4l1-compat #this as well
insmod ./m5602.ko

3. dmesg reads

[  251.460823] /home/jonee/m560x-driver/m560x/branches/m5602/m5602.c: ALi m5602 webcam driver startup
