Hello,

While trying to configure Kopete to use my bt848 card as a webcam, I can't select any standard. On the webcam configuration tab, the Hauppauge bt848 is selected, so is the Composite1 input, but I can't choose between PAL/SECAM/NTSC.
The menu is just filled with "none" values.

I get the same with a conexant based card.

Created attachment 20878 [details]
debug output #1

I tried to create a debug output with strace and --nofork option for kopete.

See kopete.gz attachment

Although not a specialist to decode this, the log indicates that kopete tries
to open /dev/v4l/

With the hauppauge winTV and ubuntu, there's no /dev/v4l/

I tried to manually create this directory and re-run kopete. There is then no
more video and all settings are unavailable. (kopete2.gz is the debug output
after creating /dev/v4l)
