I did some further research and it seems my webcam is supported by the r5u870 driver - http://wiki.mediati.org/R5u870 . I'm guessing that driver wouldn't make it for Hardy even without the firmware issues. However, it seems to me that blacklisting 05ca:1810, and maybe 05ca:1870, and the uvcvideo driver would be the best solution.
Incidentally, here are the alias entries created for the r5u870 driver: alias usb:v05CAp183Bd*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp183Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1839d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1837d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1836d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1835d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1812d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1810d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1870d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1834d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1833d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1832d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* r5u870 alias usb:v05CAp1830d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* r5u870 There seems to be a fair bit of overlap between it and this uvcvideo driver alias: alias usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip00* uvcvideo -- uvcvideo module prevents system from suspending or hibernating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
