The external driver from Luc Saillard was added in 2.6.9-3 by Fabio M. Di Nitto: * Add support for Philips USB cameras from http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ at version 10.0.6 (for kernel 2.6.9). . Add patch drivers-usb-pwc.dpatch. . Update all config files: + USB_PWC=m
And the version currently in 2.6.17-7 is also from Luc Saillard. So I guess it's safe to update to the latest version which is working. Anyway I contacted Luc and will post his answers here when I get them. -- Regression: Webcams using pwc driver produce all-grey images https://launchpad.net/bugs/56090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
