As libv4l doesn't support USERPTR, such detection should happen > early inside camorama code; I ended adding auto-detection support for USERPTR inside camorama, for completeness. The "-U" command line option remains, so one could use it to force USERPTR mode. As the way I implemented it is that camorama checks if REQBUFS doesn't return any error, it means that it will automatically fallback to USERPTR with atomisp driver (while MMAP support is not fixed there). So, once I fix the issues with S_FMT/G_FMT, camorama will likely work out of the box with it. Regards, Mauro
