Just realized my reply didn't get to the multimedia list so here it is:

With the patch contained in the misc directory above applied to linux.h
and to linux_ioctl.c it returns these declaration errors though these
appear to be in the patched linux.h:

cc -O -DLKM -I. -DCOMPAT_43 -DCOMPAT_LINUX  -DKERNEL
-DACTUALLY_LKM_NOT_KERNEL -I/usr/src/lkm/linux/../../sys  -Wreturn-type

*** Error code 1

Also, in an unrelated matter, Netscape V4.04 for FreeBSD fails to
successfully call the RealPlayer.

With either the RealPlayer Linux version or the older version-3, when
Netscape call the player, the player window opens for a
moment then closes and a second window appears.
In the top bar it reads: Netscape subprocess diagnostics (stdout/stderr)
In the upper part of the window: signal 8

Anyone have this working ?
