Bug#644761: linux-image-2.6.32-5-vserver-amd64: xawtv does not work with USB Webcam served by the gspca driver
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-35squeeze2
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
xawtv used to work, but now it has a regression.
I assume that the problem is in the gspca kernel driver, but it could be in an
X-Window video driver.

xawtv still uses V4L1, which is obsolete:
<http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/NoVideo4Linux1>.
I'll reassign this to xawtv.
