Hi everyone! I'm having trouble with my webcam. First I will describe the scenario. I have a Acer Aspire 7520-5949 running Slackware Linux 12.1 with Linux 2.6.25. I have downloaded svn trunk version of uvcvideo driver, which support Suyin webcam. uname -a: Linux symphony 2.6.25-smp #3 SMP Mon Jun 23 01:13:41 BRT 2008 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux lsusb: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 064e:a101 Suyin Corp. cat version.h: #define DRIVER_VERSION "SVN r220" I get load without problems the module built as uvcvideo.ko and it generates a device on /dev/v4l/video0, and in dmesg or tail /var/log/syslog appears the following lines: Linux video capture interface: v2.00 uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer CrystalEye webcam (064e:a101) input: Acer CrystalEye webcam as /class/input/input8 usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo USB Video Class driver (SVN r217) I have tried use luvcview to test my webcam, without success: $ ./luvcview luvcview version 0.2.1 Video driver: x11 A window manager is available video /dev/video0 Unable to set format: 22. Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal Defining format with yuv, I have got the following message in the terminal: $ ./luvcview -f yuv luvcview version 0.2.1 Video driver: x11 A window manager is available video /dev/video0 Unable to start capture: 71. Error grabbing Clean Up done Quit Trying again, I have got a window showing my face. I have closed the window e tried again, without success, and the terminal showed me the same first error with format yuv. I have tried again and I have got success. Conclusion, the luvcview just works when I try twice. Using mplayer with that command line: mplayer tv:// -tv fps=15:width=320:height=240 I have got a green window and mplayer terminal shows me among several informations that errors: Selected device: Acer CrystalEye webcam Capabilites: video capture streaming supported norms: inputs: 0 = Camera 1; Current input: 0 Current format: YUYV v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument tv.c: norm_from_string(pal): Bogus norm parameter, setting default. v4l2: ioctl enum norm failed: Invalid argument Error: Cannot set norm! Selected input hasn't got a tuner! v4l2: ioctl streamon failed: Protocol error I would like to know if anyone had success using that webcam with that driver on some softwares as ekiga, kopete, mplayer, among others. --
