[gentoo-amd64] CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT Kernel Option

[gentoo-amd64] CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT Kernel Option

[sean]

Unable to find  CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT option in Make Menuconfig.
So I went and looked over the .config file and still do not see such an 
option.

Did a search, several in fact, and found the mentioned 
"CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y" mentioned many times and that it would 
appear to be located in "Device Drivers" "Multimedia Devices", but it 
still seems to be missing.

Is anyone able to give me an idea as to where this kernel option is located?

				Thanks

located in "Device Drivers", "Multimedia Devices",  "Video for 
Linux","Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED}"

Note that you won't see the last unless you 'y' or 'm' the next to last.

what he means here is that you won't see v4l1 compat unless you enable v4l2.

Thanks Drake and Mike,

	The problem of the kernel option was caused by the fact that I was 
running an older kernel and the option was not included.
Upgraded the kernel, and the option is now available, though scpa5xx now 
fails with other problems.

scpa5xx may be wrong choice now:

from
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_a_webcam#USB_support

gspcav1 - Kernel 2.6.11 or newer 
spca5xx - Kernel 2.6.11 or older

I did see that but spca5xx is listed for my webcam, not gspcav1, however 
I plan now to try it.
