Today I cleaned everything out and started fresh from CVS with fresh
sources, after running configure of course.

Does yours installation include the "-ansi" compiler switch?  Looking
at the offending <linux/videodev.h> header either something has
seriously changed or that "-ansi" shouldn't be there.  There's a "#if"
that's droping out some fairly important typedefs if both GNUC and
ANSI are defined.

I'm wondering if "configure" added that for reasons of it's own.  I've
done some searching through the initial files and haven't found where
or if it's generated yet.

I had to update automake and autoconf to get something to compile
correctly, I thought it was qtvision, but I could be wrong.  I'm
wondering if I'm a little too close to the bleeding edge on those two.

Overall I'm happier with Mandrake 9.0 than I was with RedHat 8.0
though, even with these little problems.  And qtvision IS running
fine, I just thought I'd find out if there was something wrong with my
installation.
