I'll try that later and tell you what it changes.

Looking with the rpmdrake tool (Mdk 9.1 installed) it says that videodev2.h
belongs to :
glibc-devel-2.3.1-10mdk or kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk

I am wondering if this is exact or if it belongs to another package I would 
have tried on the machine (they have been numerous).

Have a nice day,
