[Bug 114892] kernel module ov511 does not work

[Gunni]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-generic

My webcam does not work with the ov511.ko
modprobe ov511 resulted in following syslog:

[92856.696023] ov511: disagrees about version of symbol video_devdata
[92856.696031] ov511: Unknown symbol video_devdata
[92856.696239] ov511: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device
[92856.696241] ov511: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[92856.696319] ov511: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_alloc
[92856.696322] ov511: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
[92856.696360] ov511: disagrees about version of symbol video_register_device
[92856.696362] ov511: Unknown symbol video_register_device
[92856.696496] ov511: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_release
[92856.696499] ov511: Unknown symbol video_device_release

I then tried to compile it myself, but it did not work.

I think the new compiled module landed in:
/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video

whereas the original is in:

/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/ubuntu/media/ov511

so i copied the module from the upper location to the "original", and now i get a picture (not good, but loads module without error)
So i seem the module is broken.
Sorry if my description is not good, but its not easy for me to explain.
