Yes, mostly webcam stuff, where there are active developers. Hopefully those stuff will be fixed in time to 2.6.19. > I guess V4L1 is going to be with us for a while longer since all of > these drivers need to get ported. Radio devices will be more complicated to test. Those devices emerged a long time ago, and it seems that nobody is using they, at least with 2.6 series. I'm not sure if it would be valuable to port all those stuff. Some devices even don't have pnp support (you need to specify IO ports and IRQ lines). > Cheers, Mauro.
