Luc and all, Here is what appears a solution to the problem with the SPC900NC leaving its LED on all the time, and uncontrolable. See below. If you find any issues with this, please so post follow up. The pwc driver is by default trying to see the SPC900NC as a 720 model and the LED cannot be controlled, but if you first change it to 740 model, and recompile and install, then the LED works. :)
LED FIX for LX on SPC900NC 9.22.06 -------------------------------------- First to make pwc latest snapshot for v10.0.12 with SPC900NC support, you need to edit the pwc_ioctl.h file and change these lines to look like this (comment the typedef line inside the same comment as the Compatibility wording): /* Compatibility ... typedef _u16 ... */ Finally to fix the LED on/off capability you need to edit the pwc-if.c file and change line 1530 related to the SPC 900NC webcam, and change it from type 720 to 740: type_id = 740; Then you can do 'make', 'make install' and copy the pwc.ko file from the usb modules directory also to the ./pwc subdirectory under it, and do 'rmmod pwc' to unload current, then 'modprobe pwc' to load the new, and 'lsmod | grep pwc' to see if it loaded and the video driver is using it. You can use the 'setpwc' command to test turning the LED on or off or make it blink: setpwc v1.1, (C) 2003-2005 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] -k x set led on-time (0...25500ms -l y set led off-time x = 100 y = 0 : LED on x = 0 y = 100 : LED off x > 100 y > 200 : LEF blink Peter Baitz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
