Very easy Quickcam Patch question

Hi,

Gentoo is great ! I'm almost up and running with a fairly busy Server apart from this:

I'm running motion with a Quickcam Express USB and during the emerge it said I need to add a patch as kernel 2.4.20-wolk-4.14-r11 is buggy. The URL for the patch given is:

http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/quickcam/linux-2.4.20-videodevfix.patch

How do I add this patch and re-compile so the Quickcam doesn't keep filling up /var/log/messages ?

Any pointers greatly appreciated !

Thanks,

Jonathan

Patching is in general done with patch (man page!!)

Probably
