Is there an easy way to check whether V4L or V4L2 is in use? I'm somewhat reluctant to spend hours or days on implementing an interface, just to find out that the problem is somehwere else. At the moment I have near zero knowledge about V4L/V4L2, as you can probably guess from my questions. ;-) > [...] > We have the permission to import the v4l2 header (I got the permission > from the authors).
