Hi maybe you can help me here,

when you say Linux 8.0 , which distribution du you refer to ? RedHat ?

I am trying to compile the driver on RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18 and run in to
an incompatibility with the video_device structure which no longer has a
'busy' field.

A similar problem was reported by Arno Wilhelm on April 14. for the
2.4.19-pre6 kernel.

Thanks in advance
Paul
