Re: [V4L] What happened to v4l2-cc*?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Problem is, I've got drivers that need to be ported (about 4).  Should
I try porting v4l2-cc.[ch] to work with videodevX?

Are there some instructions for weaning these drivers away from
v4l2-cc.[ch]?

Thanks,

Chris
