Here's a snippet from my current kernel .config: # # Multimedia devices # # CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV is not set video_dev seems to activate the v4l API in the kernel, which then gives you access to mutlimedia input devices. IIRC - I think you do need to specify this option to get access to the planb device, as well as other video input hardware... cheers vinai
