[PD] Firewire 800 camera for GEM

[Jaime Oliver]

hi,

I'm on the road and need to turn on my machine this week. so I'll send the
dmesg printout then.

you can find more information on the driver and other people's experiences
in:
http://kaswy.free.fr/?q=node/42
and
http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/4079/P15/
there must be a lot of dmesg prints there...

I have gotten it working with no p[roblems or crashes in fedora11 at
320x240 at 75fps and 640x480 at 60fps, higher frame rates are not working ok,
dropping frames everyonce in a while.
the driver seems to be in a testing period though, so i'm kind of
skeptical...

there is also some stuff on the web about using other lenses and taking the
ir filter...

best,

J
