This is the right list. Let's see if your post should be considered as spam :-) > I have an HP dv9574 laptop with a built-in webcam.

The Linux UVC driver doesn't support read() (yet).

Could you please try luvcview ? As your camera doesn't support MJPEG, you should run it with luvcview -f yuv > I would be glad to assist in any way I can to help add support for this > device.
