insmod: error inserting './quickcam.ko': -1 Invalid parameters
=== Leaving root mode ===
quickcam: falsely claims to have parameter keepsettings
[!] The QuickCam driver failed to load!

I kept getting this message in the kernel log
->falsely claims to have parameter keepsettings

as I dug deeper it seems to be related
to "qc-driver.c"

I changed 
static int keepsettings = 0;
to
int keepsettings = 0 ;

and rebuilt. I got past "falsely claims to have parameter keepsettings"
and continued with the sam MO for the other warnings that followed.

after a few more removals of statics, I got a good compile, I was able
to load the driver, and finally was able to view images using gqcam.

I don't know the details of the why's or why not's. Maybe someone
can shed more light on the issue. I seem to remember Fedora core
using a newer version of compiler, this may be causing the issue.

regards
Joey
