Re: can't open /dev/video0 with ov511

Hi, you must take a look to http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/  to be sure 
at you have the last release of the driver for your kernell. I get the 
same problem and i have installed the driver from this page and all is 
going fine now. I have SuSE8.0 but the errors messages i get was the 
same. If you have a ov518, it's the same driver but you must use the 
decomp option. The doc on the site is very well done.
