Device is Logitech QuickCam, USB based WebCam (has to be included because of the change in the experiment specs). To get the device working (capture images by a V4L application), need to compile the driver (qc-usb) & insert the quickcam.ko module. But, what the requirement says I need to enable the VIDEO_V4L1 support. Then I need to select USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices. Till here it's fine. But if I look at the kernel config, VIDEO_V4L1 is deprecated. If I decide to enable VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT, there isn't any USB_QUICKCAM_MESSENGER driver under the V4L USB devices! Should I select the VIDEO_V4L1 support to get the WebCam working or is there any other way (work around) to get my WebCam working with VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT? Comments pl? ~Akula2
