I've been trying with
- OpenCV 1.0.0 from source
- OpenCV 1.1.0pre1 from source
- OpenCV SVN (current as of today)
- of course the packages included in Jaunty

NOTHING seems to work. I've applied the patch attached to this bug report, and I am getting the infinite loop condition that David mentioned.

After a year has gone by, will the V4L driver be updated to properly handle buffer I/O so that third party libraries won't have to do that? It seems to be a kernel issue and the frustrating thing is - I've tried it with Debian Etch (i.e. Kernel 2.6.18) and that works just fine.

Could someone with more insight in V4L look at the differences between the versions? I will happily try things for anybody, but I really need this to work.
