I have a SAMSUNG VP-D340 video camara with USB connection to the computer. When I plug in the camara it is detected as USB device: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 2;
the information of the device says: Manufacturer: WINBOND W9967CF
so I am confident that the driver w9968cf.c will work with this camara; since I have kernel 2.6.5 I know that I have to compile the package ov511-2.27.tar.bz2; I proceed with "make" and install the drivers with "make install"; I check if everything went fine;
/lib/modules/2.6.5/kernel/drivers/usb/media/ovcamchip.ko
so the module is OK; now I load the staff:
modprobe i2c-core modprobe ovcamchip modprobe w9968cf
all modules load perfectly; next I plug in the camara again, and I am very happy to see the messages: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 3 drivers/usb/media/w9968cf.c: W996[87]CF JPEG USB Dual Mode Camera detected. drivers/usb/media/w9968cf.c: V4L device registered as /dev/video0.
so the camara is registered as device /dev/video0; good!!
then I try to acces the camara, for instance with "kv4lsetup"; my god, luck is finished; I wait for 1 minute or more, and then I get the message:
drivers/usb/media/w9968cf.c: No supported CMOS sensor has been detected by the 'ovcamchip' module for the W996[87]CF JPEG USB Dual Mode Camera (/dev/video0). Make sure it is loaded *before* the 'w9968cf' module.
Is there a way to have this camara working; upgrade the kernel will help? other tools for accesing the camara?,
thanks
