LinuxQuestions.org - WinTV PVR-150 & Motion

hello..
i've been searching for a few hours and don't get any further with this.. so i'm begging for help here.. :-)

i'm using motion for video surveillance (http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/) and it works well so far with network-cameras. but now i'm trying to add a camera for the door viewer, which hangs on the normal composite-video-in on my pvr-150 on debian. i'm able to get a picture with cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg but when i try it with motion there's an error:

[3] No mmap falling back on read
[3] V4L capturing using read is deprecated!
[3] Motion now only supports mmap.
[3] Motion Exits.

MMAP = Memory-mapped File I/O
DMA = Direct Memory Access

as far as i know mmap is another way to read the data out of the system from memory, but not directly from the video-card? right? is there a way to trick out motion to get the data from /dev/video0 by mmap? perhaps with another tool which takes the data direct from the card and shuffles it to the place where mmap is trying to read it? :-)

i found a thread on the motion-page, but they don't seem to be cared that much about that.. beside the fact that the motion-project is out of changes for quite a while.. :-(
on the other side there are some old patches, which don't seem to be working with the pvr150 card.

so i'm thankful for any inputs/ideas..

greetings dave
