Hello.

I'm trying to get a QC Sphere running on Debian Etch and have no result.

Microsoft Windows XP says that this is an "Logitech QuickCam PTZ".
Box labeled as "Logitech QuickCam Sphere".

Today I have compiled uvcvideo from SVN, and load it:
Oct 17 22:18:48 nemos kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed>
(046d:08c2)
Oct 17 22:18:48 nemos kernel: usbcore: registered new driver uvcvideo

Seems good, and xawtv found it:
/dev/video0: OK                         [ -device /dev/video0 ]
    type : v4l2
    name : USB Video Class device
    flags:  capture

But no one capture it.

Mplayer:

$ mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2
[some output skipped]
Playing tv://.
Selected driver: v4l2
 name: Video 4 Linux 2 input
 author: Martin Olschewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 comment: first try, more to come ;-)
v4l2: ioctl get standard failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: ioctl set mute failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: 0 frames successfully processed, 0 frames dropped.
Exiting... (End of file)

mplayer's strace say:
open("/dev/video0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
ioctl(4, VIDIOC_QUERYCAP or VT_OPENQRY, 0x84efad4) = 0
ioctl(4, VIDIOC_G_FMT or VT_SENDSIG, 0x84efb88) = 0
ioctl(4, VIDIOC_G_STD, 0xafb0d248)      = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "v4l2: ioctl get standard failed:"..., 50v4l2: ioctl get standard
failed: Invalid argument) = 46

v4lctl:

Ekiga just give me "Your video driver doesn't support the requested video
format" message.


...and while I tried kernel says:

Oct 17 22:24:14 nemos kernel: uvcvideo: Failed to query (132) UVC control 8
(unit 2) : -32.
Oct 17 22:24:14 nemos kernel: uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1

(unit 2) : -32.
Oct 17 22:24:14 nemos kernel: uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC control 2

Some tech info:

ide_core              111016  5 usb_storage,ide_cd,ide_disk,piix,generic

Any ideas how to capture video from this?

Thanks in advance.
