[pxc] Problems with pxc 0.81, pxc_xgrab, pxc_grab

[Marius van Wyk]

Hi Irem,

This could be due to the fact that your Linux installation is loading some 
drivers automatically.
You either need to have installed the machine without the capture card 
installed, ot you need to unload the modules. (I am not sure which, but 
there are a few you may need to unload...) There is perhaps some way you 
can edit conf.modules to stop them from loading, but I'm not sure.

I have had this problem in the past as well, and I solved it by simply 
unloading the native Linux kernel modules before loading the pxc.o module.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
Marius.
