Depending on how the videodev module and others were
loaded (either manually or automatically by executing
xawtv), cpia_pp.o fails to load properly.

In any case, I was able to load cpia and cpia_pp
without any error and I have video1 in /proc/cpia:

[root@pikatsu module]# insmod cpia.o
[root@pikatsu module]# insmod cpia_pp.o
[root@pikatsu module]# ls /proc/cpia
video1

I executed gqcam and selected /dev/video1 by going
File->Open Camera menu. I received this error:

[sang@pikatsu gqcam-0.6]$ gqcam
/dev/video: Input/output error

I dont' think this is a permission problem.

[root@pikatsu gqcam-0.6]# chmod og+rw /dev/video1
[root@pikatsu gqcam-0.6]# ls -l /dev/video1
crw-rw-rw-   1 sang     root      81,   1 Sep 21 07:05
/dev/video1
[root@pikatsu gqcam-0.6]# ls -l /dev/video1
crw-rw-rw-   1 sang     root      81,   1 Sep 21 07:05
/dev/video1
[root@pikatsu gqcam-0.6]# ls -l /dev/video 
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            6 Feb 28 09:34
/dev/video -> video0

Still same error.

Thanks.
