Thank you very much for this information/patch - my cinelerra indeed has
only "Video4Linux" option, not a v2 option.

Compiling is a bit scary for me, as I installed from a repo via
synaptic. I don't understand how a manual compile & install would
interact with the automatic install... on my last box, things got *very*
messed up.

If I decide to brave the compilation, I suppose I should use synaptic to
completely uninstall, and then compile the source?

PS: Is it possible that "cinecutie" has this fix (v4l2) incorporated in
it? I've been curious about cinecutie, but haven't done it because it's
not clear to me if this version conflicts with others, and what benefits
it brings, etc. Any input appreciated :-)

Thanks for listening,

Mike
