Lets sort the naming out in 2.5 as we go towards a more V4l2 based setup ?


Your call, but that does mean it'd be a while until the sane names get
into a stable kernel, and this keeps coming up on the V4L list. Keeping
the deprecated names as above does mean that it wouldn't break anything
based on 2.4.

Why not just include V4L2 in 2.4? I spent a week testing the V4L1 compatibility features of the the videodevX driver, with no problems whatsoever. If there are concerns about compatibility, we could label it as "experimental" and make it an either/or option with videodev.

It would certainly be a less risky move than adding the new AIC7xxx driver was :)
