I've tried to get the driver to work with various applications
(Skype, kopete what have you) to no avail.

Then I tried the capture.c example from the v4l page.
The captest gets an "invalid argument" error on

  xioctl (fd, VIDIOC_QUERYBUF, &buf)

While digging a bit deeper into this I found the following:
===========================================================
                 if (-1 == xioctl (fd, VIDIOC_QUERYBUF, &buf))
                   {
                     printf("TYPE = %x MEM= %x\n",buf.type,buf.memory);
                     errno_exit ("VIDIOC_QUERYBUF");
                   }
============= produces ====================================

VIDIOC_QUERYBUF error 22, Invalid argument
============================================================

clearly memtype is set to 1 here, then at the module side:


(sn9c20x-v4l2.c   74% L1142)
============================================================
         UDIA_DEBUG("QUERY BUFFERS %d %d TYPE=%x MEM=%x\n", 
buffer->index, dev->queue.count,buffer->type,buffer->memory);

         if (buffer->memory != V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP ||
                 buffer->type != V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE)
                 return -EINVAL;

=============================================================

So somewhere inbetween the type of the memorybuffer seems to get lost.
It can't be an #include/#define issue since we're looking at absolute
numbers.

cat /dev/video0 happily produces text garbage of whatever the cam might
see :-)

libv4l is versioned 0.5.97 (same result with 0.5.8)

Any zen on this one ?
