OK I am running AVview without ffmpeg but there is no v4l device!  The
km_drv and km_api_drv modules load successfully but they do not create
any /dev/video devices.  Should I be using mknod?  I thought it would be
automatically created.

Does included mean built in or compatible with?  I have copied km_drv.ko
and km_api_drv.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.14/kernel/drivers/video; this may
be the wrong way of going about it?

Thank you,
