Please!!!
If you're using the SLOTMAN kernel, don't use the video_lkm too! The
SLOTMAN kernel is a more complete imnplementation of the video_lkm, and is
integrated into the kernel. Adding the video_lkm on top of a SLOTMAN
kernel is likely to lead to some serious interaction problems (like,
there'll be multiple copies of some MRG routines...)
