Ah, I have found out about this now: With SVN revision 130, direct support 
for V4L2_CID_FOCUS_ABSOLUTE was removed from the driver, with a log message 
of "Removed Logitech focus control (use the dynamic controls API instead)". 
dynctrl.txt describes the details of the ioctl API.

So far, I've not been successful in writing a small program to set the 
focus - I don't really understand what the required values for "Extension 
unit ID" and "Control selector" are. It would help to have another ioctl 
option to enumerate the available controls. (Or use a different API 
altogether: Create sysfs attributes for extended controls. ioctls are evil! 
;-)

Cheers,

  Richard
