I tried to use the --enable-v4l2 in pwlib and it threw this:

checking linux/videodev2.h usability... no
checking linux/videodev2.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h:     check for missing 
prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h:     section "Present But Cannot 
Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev2.h: proceeding with the 
preprocessor's result

configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
checking for linux/videodev2.h... yes
checking for V4L2 video support... yes


When I tried to make ignoring these warnings, it exited with compilation 
errors in that file. I have FC3. How do I resolve these warnings??

Btw, when I say modprobe v4l1_compat , I can the see the author's name 
(Bill Dirks) but no email to contact. I've googled without any success 
either.

Thanks
