Hi folks,

Has any one ever tried using Ezonics cam II. 
I know my usb works, I have got kensington cam, and microtek to work.

I first tried ov511 drivers, in the ov511.c the Ez cam II is listed. But
the vendor/product id was wrong in the ov511.h. So I changed the ov511.h
to the correct numbers and compiled fine, then insmod the ov511.o, loaded
fine onto the kernel. But dmesg was still showing no driver associated
with the camera(I also checked /lib/modules/modules.usb...).

Next, I downloaded the win2k driver for the ezcamII and noticed the ini
file was called stv673. OK, thought well lets try stv680.o because I
noticed its on my linux box.

I recompiled stv680.c and stv680.h with change to vendor/product ID. I
used insmod to insert the module stv680. 

Now I went to test the cam again. I'm using gqcam, I get the following
error. 

/dev/video: Operation not permitted 

Now at the same time vidcat gives me this error.

Can't open device /dev/video

Now the reason I'm using stv680 is because its the only driver I noticed
that dmesg shows:

stv680.c: STV0680 USB Camera Driver v0.25
usb.c: deregistering driver stv680
stv680.c: [usb_stv680_exit:1674] STV(i): driver deregistered
usb.c: registered new driver stv680
stv680.c: [stv680_probe:1564] STV(i): STV0680 camera found.
stv680.c: [stv680_probe:1592] STV(i): registered new video device: video0
stv680.c: [usb_stv680_init:1665] STV(i): usb camera driver version v0.25
registering
stv680.c: STV0680 USB Camera Driver v0.25
 
Where using the ov511 driver dmesg shows, there is no driver associated
with the usb deivce.

Currently lsmod shows:

Now this is proc:

I think things should be working? Please help.

If anyone knows maybe how I can the the driver source for stv673? Because
I'm guessing that may be my solutuion. I not sure what chipset is even in
the camera.

Sorry don't mean to be so long winded.

thanks

jerry
