Maybe with the latest 2.4 kernel which got some v4l2 treatment, but not 2.4.20-22, or does it? At least I had the last successful build on 2.4.20-22 with v4l snapshots around June 2004 on already v4l2 patched kernels. > However, testing of that has been limited.

No doubt, all I'm afraid of is a more difficult build path for users and packagers alike. > I will NOT keep a copy around in the 0.5.x series and up.
