Comment 39 for bug 757040

Good Saturday,

Workaround update

Webcam still work like a charm here ...BUT

* using before-last stable kernel, not the latest stable
  (sticking to 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64)

* using a specific revision of the stk11xx module, not the HEAD
  (sticking to rev. 99 since latest 100:101 won't build here)

  Erratum cf. step 1) and 8) c. here above (respectively):
  $ svn co -r 99 https://syntekdriver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/syntekdriver/trunk/driver
  $ svn up -r 99

* with some extra precaution, or the kernel will crash !!
  first time I saw F14 crashing here, you've been warned ^^
  just let each webcam-aware application complete webcam init
  (light blinks on then off)
  before launching another one (eg. two concurrent skype ids)

Detailed info and bug reports I filled today

I could reproduce the kernel crash "on-demand" and reported it first via ABRT (first crash wasn't detected, system log just aborted), but I can't find its URL right now (is kerneloops.org front end in troubles ?), nor can I find anything related to 2.6.35 (?).

With hope this will helps others already, happy workaround ^^
Any further info needed ?
