firewire + slackware #2

ok, update.

as per some other guide, i installed the libdc1394 library. nothing.

i also realized that i didn't have the video1394 module loaded. i loaded that. nothing.

though, my dmesg now says this:

ieee1394: hpsb_update_config_rom() is deprecated
ieee1394: Failed to generate Configuration ROM image for host 0

i have also used testlibraw, and came up with this:
