I believe the 2.6.11 Mandrake kernel has cdrom support compiled in rather than using a module. So there is some incompatability with the version of mklivecd that is on the livecd.
I will compile updated rpms for mklivecd and livecd utils and post a link when I get a little time. But you should be aware that you will find other issues when running the 2.6.11 kernel on Mandrake 10.1. At least one that I am aware of is that CD burning will break. Fixing it will require rebuilding cdrecord at least.
A simpler solution may be to build the camera driver you need for the tmb kernel used on the livecd. I'll take a look at this option too when I get a few minutes.
Best regards,
Ross

Is it the philips webcam driver that you need? If so the se401 module is included on the livecd. The camera may not be auto detected, but doing "sudo insmod se401" may be all you need to do to get it going.

OK the "philips vesta pro" is supported by the pwc module. Another user pointed out that the pwc module on the livecd is somewhat crippled.
I have compiled a new driver for the Philips webcam with the extension module to get full resolution. I don't have one of these cameras so it has not been tested. But I expect it will work as advertized.
You can get it here:
http://www.elltel.net/melins/mdk_10.1/D ... c_mods.tgz
Just inzip it and follow the instructions in the README.
If you want the modules to always load at bootup add them to /etc/modprobe.preload
Then you can remake the livecd and you will have full support for your camera.
I will look onto the matrox TV out thing when I get some time.
Best regards,
Ross
