I just tried to access the webcam with luvcview:
nokile:~/projekte/s3fs$ 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
nokile:~/projekte/s3fs$ luvcview -f yuv
luvcview version 0.2.1
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0
Clean Up done Quit
The second call works. Could that be the reason for my problems? And
is it the fault of the driver or the cam itself that it doesn't
generate jpg?
Best,
-Nikolaus
