Well, you could use some app to show the snaps that v4l2grab takes.

Yeah, compiling v4l2gl on N9 can indeed be complex. I suspect that it 
shouldn't hard to compile xawtv there (probably disabling some optional
features).

I suspect it shouldn't be hard to add support for GRBG10. It already
supports 8 and 16 bits Bayer formats, at lib/libv4lconvert/bayer.c
(to both RGB and YUV formats).

How it would preform is another question ;)

Well, if you plug a USB camera without those controls, it should
automatically expose controls for it, as if the device had such
controls.

Thanks,
