Because of the confusion with vidinmode/vidoutmode I've tried all 
combinations:

With a PAL source, I did the following combinations:

# /sbin/insmod kfir.o 
# dmesg
...
saa7113: status=81
...
kfir: decoder status=7
# cat /dev/video0 
<ctrl-c>
# /sbin/rmmod kfir
# /sbin/insmod kfir.o vidinmode=0 vidoutmode=1 loaded=1
saa7113: status=81
kfir: decoder status=7
# cat /dev/video0
<ctrl-c>
# /sbin/insmod kfir.o vidinmode=1 vidoutmode=1 loaded=1
saa7113: status=81
kfir: decoder status=7
<ctrl-c>
# /sbin/insmod kfir.o vidinmode=1 vidoutmode=0 loaded=1
saa7113: status=81
kfir: decoder status=7
# cat /dev/video0 
<ctrl-c>
# /sbin/insmod kfir.o vidinmode=0 vidoutmode=0 loaded=1
saa7113: status=81
kfir: decoder status=7

OK, some questions for you:

Which kernel did you use: vanilla Linus distribution, Redhat (with alan
cox patches etc), SuSe etc ?

Which compiler did you use ? egcs, gcc 2.96, gcc 3.00 etc [I'm using
redhat and gcc 2.96 has caused problems in the past].

Are you using the i2c stuff that came with the kernel or from the
kfir distribution?

Thanks,

Andrew
