Greetings,
This is a patch against 2.4.9 that will bring the PWC driver up to version
8.2. It has the following changes:
* Making module more silent when trace = 0
* Adding QuickCam 3000 Pro IDs
* Chrominance control for the Vesta cameras
* Hopefully fixed problems on machines with BIGMEM and > 1GB of RAM
* Included Oliver Neukem's lock_kernel() patch
* Allocates less memory for image buffers
* Adds ioctl()s for the whitebalancing
For those who had troubles on machines with large amounts of RAM, please
try it out. All others: try it out as well :)
This should be included into the kernel; however, I have one remark for
whoever added these lines to the PWC driver in the 2.4.9 kernel:
Info("Download the driver from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ for in
kernel\n");
Info("format conversion support.\n");
This is utterly untrue. There is no such �in kernel� format conversion.
There is a decompression module, and a few colour conversion routines in a
separate package for those who need it in their PROGRAMS. But there�s no
colour conversion plugin [Alan Cox would probably keelhaul me if I did :)]
Secondly: URLs do not belong in user visible parts of the kernel code; in
Documentation and/or help yes, but not in /bzImage.
Have fun!
