Building mga_vid on Fedora Core 3

[Prof. BJ]

use the
old fashioned /dev/mga_vid (major: 83) via mknod.
Try also the include patch from me!

What is the reason to change this ?
(Ie, is pci_find_device deprecated?)
Beside, if your kernel oopses, you should report a bug to the

I had a lot of debugging and googling to solve the problem,
somewhere I red about deprecating the pci_find device().
There are some nice new
functions in comming (like pci_get_device ;)

Ok, i'll look that up.
I'll try to make some time free to update the current version
this week, if not it'll be next.
