Hi
I tried the cmicro again with 
http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/KFir/ site.
I also copied all the cmicro file.
This one compiles fine with the earlier releases
of kfir and not this and not with the cvs.
The kfir.c still give an error on 2.2.16-22
kernel.
If anyone has use this CVS version of kfir, then
please let me know.
The issue here is jerk and quality of video with the
old version and the initial startup time.

Thanks and Regards
Deepak
