For everyone's information: I've started a list of V4L tips to help people try and get V4L up and running. It's not complete, and somewhat raw, but it does contain some good tips. You can find it at: http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~rjm2/v4l-notes.txt I've also written a C++ API (still in its nascent stages, but there are groups at Carnegie-Mellon and Lehigh that have been using it for a while) for V4L capture and image display (it's called SPU-Toolbox). You can find that at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/spu-toolbox for those who are interested. Regards! -- Ross J. Micheals rjm2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
