Mmm, and it displays no error? It should at least print something like "could 
not open video-dev" - please start it at a xterm and have a look at the 
errors (if any).

Don't do that! This string is used to determine the "base-name" of all 
video-dev's and is later in the program extentend by the number (0..3) 
automatically.

That will only help after kvdr could open the videodev - of course the just 
uploaded version will still need to open the device ;-), but if you are lucky 
the problem went away ...

Can someone verify that it works with those kernel?
