Note: I have installed the driver by downloading the latest stk11xx-2.1.0 from this author release. And also followed the README file that it contain by this author/team.

After trying to build it in my Fedora 15, it failed (never got installed like click and go) and then i followed how to crack it: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/syntek

After follow all those it got installed. (so for others, i wish it helps!)

Reuqest: Please advise how to fix this /dev/video0 not found, none of application can detect this USB device. I have tried with all such as: vlc, xawtv, chees, mplayer, camorama and all gives same error.
