Hello video gurus. I didn't see this mentioned and was hoping someone
might see a mistake I'm making.
When my v4l2 application makes a call to mmap (after successful
VIDIOC_REQBUFS and VIDIOC_QUERYBUF calls) mmap returns error,
with errno = 13 (EACCES? - Permission Denied)) - The application
is running as root. - I've attached my modules, dmesg output,
and a code snippet below. Any ideas? xawtv works fine, and
I've written applications using the v4l 1 interface on this
system (with bttv 0.7) without problems. I'm using the slightly
older v4l2 bttv (0.8.46) because some legacy code I have didn't compile
on the newer 0.9 stuff... (videodev(2).h differences).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The capture
device is a hauppauge wintv.
I am running the 2.4.19 kernel with the v4l2 patch from
the "oldstuff" section, and using bttv 0.8.46. I didn't see EACCES
in the bttv module, so I'm wondering if I've found the wrong errno and
am chasing a wild goose...
