People should used Fedora Core carefully :) the FC kernel claim tobe a 2.6.15 
but include patch from 2.6.16. That is impossible to follow from driver 
maintener point of vue. That is why i have set in the readme "only support 
vanilla kernel from http://www.kernel.org";.
Your usb grabber did not support jpeg stream.  You should used yuv420p 
instead. This device need channel and norme to be set The best should be to 
read the readme:)
