Hello.

Tried to record a video using cheese a few minutes ago, and got this
in my console :

libv4l2: warning v4l2 mmap buffers still mapped on close()

** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not get buffers from device '/dev/video0'.


** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not map buffers from device '/dev/video0'

** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format

** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not get buffers from device '/dev/video0'.

** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not map buffers from device '/dev/video0'

** (cheese:14551): WARNING **: Could not negotiate format

Any idea ? Tip ? Thanks !
