[Bug 289242] Re: Cheese doesn't work properly in Intrepid

[Balaji]

I have some information here.

I installed v4l-conf and here is what I find upon running
$ v4l-info > v4l.info
ioctl VIDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCGAUDIO: Invalid argument
ioctl VIDIOCGFBUF: Invalid argument

Camorama shows a the IOCTL errors often. Also, I find that the permissions
on the device /dev/video0 are the following:
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2008-11-14 21:51 /dev/video0

I am also attaching the v4l.info file that I generated above.

Please help.

Thanks,
Balaji
