bleh I'm failing to get either v4l2loopback or webcamstudio modules to 
actually load.

I'm running ubuntu Lucid 10.04 with 2.6.32-24-generic kernel

v4l2loopback svn builds and installs ok

however, modprobe v4l2loopback returns in dmesg:

    [   46.328926] v4l2loopback: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_unregister_device
    [   46.328929] v4l2loopback: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
    [   46.328996] v4l2loopback: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_device_alloc
    [   46.328998] v4l2loopback: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
    [   46.329091] v4l2loopback: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_register_device
    [   46.329093] v4l2loopback: Unknown symbol video_register_device
    [   46.329178] v4l2loopback: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_device_release
    [   46.329179] v4l2loopback: Unknown symbol video_device_release

similarly, modprobe webcamstudio returns in dmesg:

    [   39.281212] webcamstudio: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_devdata
    [   39.281215] webcamstudio: Unknown symbol video_devdata
    [   39.281309] webcamstudio: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_unregister_device
    [   39.281311] webcamstudio: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
    [   39.281376] webcamstudio: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_device_alloc
    [   39.281377] webcamstudio: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
    [   39.281446] webcamstudio: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_register_device
    [   39.281448] webcamstudio: Unknown symbol video_register_device
    [   39.281551] webcamstudio: disagrees about version of symbol
    video_device_release
    [   39.281553] webcamstudio: Unknown symbol video_device_release

a reboot doesn't help.
