This is straight forward enough. My understand in the past was that we could load v4l2 at runtime but I never got it to work. So perhaps this is the way to go. We will need to add the lib to the package dependencies as well. I am going to have to dig up my lego cam to see if this allows it to work! |

simple/primitive USB cameras ( for example using the gspsa driver ) do not work properly with ZoneMinder (zmc keeps crashing )
for example : 0c45:6005 Microdia Sweex Mini Webcam ,
I propose a fix for that (patch against zm 37.40 / master dev )
