If I remember correctly people are bit uneasy about putting decompression of proprietary codecs into to the kernel. See http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04778.html Every kernel release I end up building an external module just to get my OV518 usb webcam to work. (It requires decompression support) Not cool. > Are there any reasons why the upstream driver can't be resynced with the > kernel? I think ovcamchip is from the development branch, but ov511 is from the stable branch. Not sure about that.
