[Bug 267522] Re: webcams stop working with 2.6.27

[Stéphane Marguet]

My bug seems to be related to the lack of libv4l package in
Ubuntu/Debian.

>From gspcav2 creator homepage (http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt)

V4L library

	Most applications don't know how to decode the raw frames generated
	by the driver, and also, many of them do not speak the V4L2
	interface. To make them work, you need the V4L application
	library found at:

                http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/v4l-dvb

	To generate:
		cd v4l2-apps/lib/libv4l/
		make
		make install
		(the installation is done under /usr/local)

	To use it:
		export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/
		LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so <application>


camorama still doesn't work, but cheese, ekiga and aMsn are working.
