Unfortunately, despite V4L1 having been deprecated almost a decade ago, essentially every application out there was still depending on it at the source code level. Once the kernel finally dropped the support entirely, changes were required to MythTV, tvtime, xawtv, for them to start working again (pretty much every project I know of went "oh crap" when it disappeared). Somebody will probably have to "fix" the fmtools source code to no longer depend on V4L1. Devin -- Devin J.
