I am partially responsible for the procfs-stuff in the cpia-driver (and not proud of it ;). For the ones that never had a look at it: it allows to control about any aspect of the cpia-chip (color-gains, compression targets, ... - all in all about 50 values) via writing to a procfs-file. I _dont_ :) think something like this has much to do with a basic v4l2 api. But I still wonder how could this be done in a better way. Since we are talking about designing an API for the next 10 years the question how to support such stuff in some way seems to be valid. In other words, what is the v4l2-way to deal with hardware that has dozens of non-standard options to control? Or is this out of scope? -Peter -- Feeling amorous, she looked under the sheets and cried, "Oh, no, it's Microsoft!" ------------------------------- Email: Peter_Pregler@xxxxxxxxx
