Description:   Opened: 2005-10-13 09:17 0000 
Due to the way Pentium Ms handle TSC and the related assembly, SDLcam in its
current state (v0.7.3 plus the Gentoo patches) does not work on those CPUs
(usually, it fails on startup).

I've created a patch that adresses this issue (TSC timing) so that it works on
Pentium Ms. I've submitted it to the maintainer and he will release a new
version. But according to him this will take some time, so I'm submitting it
here, too. I've tested the resulting binaries on all x86 hardware I have (PIII,
PIV, PM, AthXP) and found no problems. As the original assembly code didn't work
elsewhere (SDLcam has an alternative codepath without assembly), I've not
bothered testing it anywhere else.
