Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: matwey.kornilov@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 As far as I understand Video4Linux1 compatibility was removed from the kernel (commit id 08af245de0cf6ab5f4ed008ee2bb99273774fce0). This means that camsource (which uses v4l 1 api) can't operate with /dev/video? anymore.This is supported by 'ioctl "get video cap" failed: Invalid argument' message when using specific v4l ioctl command.. There is no known patch that fix camsource to use v4l2. Moreover camsource seems be not maintained anymore (last activity on its site was at 2003). However, camsource can still grab images from other sources (i.e. input_xwd) and one can't say that it is fully useless. Unfortunately, the simplest solution is to remove this package from the distribution. But It seems to me that the patch can be easily prepared. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
