Hi David-

Thanks for your thoughtful reply to my and the other threads you replied
to.  A wiki is probably a great idea for v4l.

I'd be glad to host the wiki if enough people here really wanted it.
Being a relative newbie to v4l, though, I probably would not be able to
provide much in the way of content (though I could do some, I'm sure).

Can we get a show of hands, so to speak, on whether or not this would be
a popular idea with willing contributors for content?  I'd rather not
set up the wiki and have it go unused...

BTW, I did manage to get a good suggestion from Gerd in an off-list
message (thanks again, Gerd!).  I've contacted the company that I
believe makes the card and the driver (Gerd confirmed that my driver
version 0.9.11.4 was not official and so was probably hacked by the
company selling the card) and asked them to provide me with the driver
sources IAW the GPL.  They're in Taiwan and they had all day Friday
(which it's now Saturday there) to reply and I've heard nothing yet, but
maybe next week.  I'm not sure how (or if) I could force them to provide
the driver sources if they're not willing or unresponsive, but I suppose
I have to try.
