Comment 84 for bug 290506

zoomy, see the big fat warning printed when you run make? svn repository is deprecated. If you want to give some help you should really try the mercurial repository I pointed you a couple of hours ago (http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo). Anyway notice that it contains the whole v4l-dvb stack and I wouldn't suggest to a newcomer to compile it.

If you still want help trying the patch do it in a test environment, you just have to run hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo, make, sudo make install.
Probably it will install the driver on a different place than the ubuntu one and you will have to manually remove the latter.

If you cannot manage to compile it or you experience any error please ask for help on irc or ubuntuforums. This bug is already overloaded, if we want it to be solved I'd suggest to add here only comments that can be useful for a solution.

So, again, could you guys give a try to the updated driver in Laurent's branch?
