I have some confusion about the module source code. First, if you go to the qc-usb CVS sourceforge repository, they have two directories: one is 'qc-usb', the other is 'quickam'. The patch proposed by Simon applies for the file which is in the 'qc-usb' directory. Maybe the same patch should be applied to the quickam.c file in the quickam directory?
Btw, the CVS repository says that the quickam directory is 5yo, while the qc-usb is 2yo. Is this driver still supported? Or will this patch remain specific to ubuntu? Second, there's an spca5xx driver, which seems to me to be newer. If it supports quickcam express, and correctly handles v4l/hal, we may think about making this module the default quickcam express module, instead of the current one. Finally, I believe that no specific fdi file for quickcam should be created, if it is possible to handle everything within the driver. To sum up: - The freedesktop hal bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14809) shall probably be closed. (if we can handle it in the driver, then hal is not affected) - The cheese bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531835) shall be marked as duplicate of this bug - Then we may either patch the current quickcam driver, or test the spca5xx driver, and, if it works, make it the default driver I'm going to test the spca5xx driver, and let you know. -- hal does not detect Quickcam Express as v4l-device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196811 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
