Actually, when I went with an older kernel (and got it to work) I still
did not see them in the /proc/cpia/video output. However, the "echo ... >

Oh, and if memory serves me correctly, I either went with a very late 2.3
kernel, or /very/ early 2.4 to make things work. I think cpia was even in
late 2.2 kernels, so if you patched in USB support, you may have success
there as well.
