It seems the pwc 10.0.7a requires Linux 2.6, so I am using pwc 9.0.2,
the newest I can find that works with 2.4.26.

I applied the newer linux-2.4.27_pwc-10.0.4.patch.bz2 version, and I get the same error. I still can't grab any frames:

$ videograb -c 1 -d /dev/v4l/video0
ioctl (VIDIOCSPICT): Invalid argument
