Summary: pix_video to look for all driver for each device

Initial Comment:
opening /dev/video0 may fail if it is a v4l device and gem look for a v4l2 device. even if Gem is able to open a v4l device.
i think when sending a [open ...< message Gem should try to open this device with all available driver (V4L,V4L2,DV).

this would allow patch to work on diferent computer without changing the patch.

i think no one should care the drivers used by a webcam, so Gem should not ask...
