[Gridflow-dev] problems with videodev

[Alexandre Castonguay]

Hi folks,

We're setting up gf on a new machine and videodev produces these errors. 
It seems that for one thing, 'mmap' is enabled by default?  The default
'bttv' button in the last version of [#camera] was helpful, why was it
removed?

Cheers,

Alexandre
