Haven't filed a formal bug report yet, but I immediately saw the problem
once pointed to that method:

/proc/video/dev doesn't exist at all on my system...
(stock debian 2.6 kernel).

In kernel 2.6 , the information is available via sysfs in
/sys/class/video4linux not /proc/video/dev ...

In 2.6 there has been a move to rationalise the /proc fs to be for
processes only, and the sundry kernel stuff to /sys

Neater that way, I guess.

Best Regards,

David Golden
