The CSI driver provides a Video4Linux (/dev/video*) interface, right? Have you tried mplayer, xawtv (X11), fbtv (framebuffer) or any of the other random TV viewing apps? They're usually a lot more light-weight than cheese and generally faster as they're optimised for pumping data from the video input to the display, rather than all the UI and effects and stuff that cheese expects to do. > I want to work on the CSI driver but I need to be able to see what I > am doing.

Sounds like a scenario where hardware video encoding would be beneficial =) Thanks, -- Julian Calaby Email: [email protected] Profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/julian.calaby/ .Plan: http://sites.google.com/site/juliancalaby/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
