Thank you for your help Mike, and for the offer to include the modules
in the feed.
I like to have uvcvideo.ko (probably CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=m) for my
webcam and pwc.ko (probably CONFIG_USB_PWC=m) which is for Philips
webcams, just in case. They use the V4L2 (Video for Linux version 2)
support, which is already enabled in the feed, but I could not test
that yet, because of the missing uvcvideo.ko driver.

I tried to compile with a new "tmp" folder, with the following result:
2009-02-28 23:13 slug/slugos/tmp deleted and make slugosbe-image:
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 732 tasks of which 0 didn't need to be
rerun and 1 failed.
ERROR:
'/home/rudi/slug/slugos/openembedded/packages/glibc/glibc_2.6.1.bb' failed
NOTE: build 200902282313: completed
make[1]: *** [image] Fehler 1
make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/home/rudi/slug/slugos'
make: *** [slugosbe-image] Fehler 2

In my next try I will delete slug/slugos and start again.
