Gerd's http://bytesex.org/patches/v4l2-20020205.tar.gz comes with these notes - is this what you need? --------------------------------------------------------------------- These are my v4l2 modules as separate tarball, for those who don't want to patch and rebuild the kernel. BIG RED WARNING LABEL ===================== The videodev.o module build by this package is *not* binary compatible with the one included in the kernel and thus can't work as drop-in replacement. v4l modules shipped with your distribution kernel will likely stop working once you installed the v4l2 videodev.o module.
