I tried to build it, and now I am a little confused ... I'm using kernel 2.4.3 with applied v4l2 patch and bttv 0.8.16. First of all, the program wouldn't build without editing makefile - I had to remove -Werror flag. Now I managed to compile it, but it fails after the very first v4l2 ioctl(). I tried to investigate what happens. The program fills a few members of v4l2_format structure ( leaving most of them uninitialized ) and makes a call to ioctl(VIDIOC_S_FMT). Driver checks the uninitialized fields ( cfmt.type and cfmt.pix.pixelformat ), finds them unacceptable and returns -EINVAL... I must be doing something wrong. What drivers should I use to test the program? -- Best regards, Eugene mailto:divx@xxxxxxx or sparky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Team GADGET] [Team Two Divided By Zero] NetZero Platinum No Banner Ads and Unlimited Access Sign Up Today - Only $9.95 per month! http://www.netzero.net
