Yeah, you right.  When I first checked the slocate db for instances of 
videodev*.h I managed to overlook the reference to 
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h.  I would probably still have been stumped 
but it might have given me a clue.

Copying videodev2.h from the kernel dir to /usr/include/linux fixed the 
problem.   So was the reason that the 4/2005 CVS Snapshot detected v4l2 
because mplayer somehow found a videodev2.h that was included with the 
ffmpeg in the snapshot but omitted from the actual cvs source?

Mille grazie,
