Comment:

 I suspect this is not yet ready for test in build.

 Derived a test plan; mplayer, gstreamer, motion.  Setup a test bed; XO-1.5
 B2 with camera working per !OpenFirmware, q3a18, os51, kernel
 2.6.31_xo1.5-20091202.1210.1.olpc.0afbb69.

  * mplayer was not available to yum, package not known.

  * gstreamer did not succeed in opening /dev/video0.

  * motion did not succeed in opening /dev/video0.

  * /dev/video0 is not present on XO-1.5 but is present on XO-1, temporary
 fix tried was to verify major device number matches in /proc/devices (it
 does, 81), and then create the inode:
  {{{
 mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
 }}}

  * per strace an open of /dev/video0 fails with ENXIO.

  * list of modules differed between XO-1.5 and XO-1.

  * camera LED remains lit.
