It looks like you are using a very outdated version of mga_vid
together with a current mga_vid_test.
I changed in May 2008 the ioctl interface of mga_vid, which means
that if you are using such an old kernel, you have to use the
same mga_vid.h to compile your application with. Otherwise
you'll run into ioctl problems.
