Hi all, on my AMD XP+3000 with kernel 2.4.22 and bttv driver ver. 0.7.107 i have 16 devices video grabber /dev/video0-->/dev/video15. If i start programs that load images from the device
/dev/video14and/dev/video15i receive this error: bttv:vmalloc_32(8519680)failedLooks like the machine runs out of vmalloc address space when using all devices at the same time ...
with gbuffers + gbufsize insmod options it is possible to adjust the amount of vmalloc memory used per device.
The other option is to use bttv 0.9.x which doesn't use vmalloc any more. Making that one work with 2.4.22 isn't trivial through, easiest is to use either 2.6 (as-is) or a more recent 2.4.x kernel + patches from http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/
