hi!

i configured and built the latest cvs-version with v4l-support, at least 
configure tells me it's enabled:
---
 Enabled optional drivers:
    Input: ftp network tv-v4l2 tv-v4l edl tv matroska(internal) 
mpdvdkit2 vcd dvb
---

when i try to watch tv with the following command:

caedes at PortRoyal:~/mplayer/cvs/main$ ./mplayer 
tv://on:device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l:input=3:width=704:height=576:norm=pal

it uses the dummy-driver and gives out only a green screen

---
(...)
Playing 
tv://on:device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l:input=3:width=704:height=576:norm=pal.
TV detected! ;-)
Selected driver: dummy
 name: NULL-TV
 author: alex
Selected input hasn't got a tuner!
(...)
---
while the same command works with 0.92 without problems (-> it uses the 
v4l-driver and shows a correct picture)

system: amd xp; kernel 2.6.5; tvcard: bt878 - bttv-kernel-module 
(card=54) - works with all tested programs incl. mplayer 0.92 but 
mplayer 1.0pre*; debian sarge
