That's great, thanks for working to get the specs for these. I suggest resending this to the linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. The developers there should be able to help you out better than we can as the number of v4l developers here are pretty slim. If you don't get any response there, let me know and I'll go poke people individually. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
