Hi I was one of the people looking for info on V4l2. Could there bee some more info on this? In particular, is it worthwhile/not too dificult to try to convert v4l apps to v4l2, and how is it to be done? (I'm maintaining the v4l1 cpia webcam driver) I've already converted it to the new file-ops interface that was put into 2.4.19. Is that part of v4l2? What advantages would v4l2 bring apart from multiple opens, etc. Some short FAQ doc about such issues would be useful.
