Update: - the spca5xx driver is superseded by gspca. Which currently doesn't compile on Ubuntu Hardy (!!! see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gspca/+bug/213762). However, as stated at http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html, the old quickcam express webcam (ID 046d:0870) should not be supported. So it was not worth trying it. - Then, I tried to patch the qc-usb driver. Since this driver does not compile on Ubuntu Hardy (!!! Again !!! see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qc-usb/+bug/213114) I made the following step: - download the latest qc-usb-source package from intrepid - extract it - patch it - compile, install and load it
Camorama works fine. cheese --verbose writes only device: /dev/video0 on output (as reported by Sebastian), however (surprisingly) the webcam still does NOT work with cheese! Note that: - with the plain driver (the one that ships with Ubuntu kernel), cheese --verbose does not output anything - by setting hal properties by hand cheese worked We're almost to the goal... we're just missing some bits about this very strange behavior... -- 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
