 Hello

 I have a Suyin crystal eye webcam that lsusb give as

    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 064e:a103 Suyin Corp

 that I have been trying to make work for the last week
 to no avail. From what I've read this device
 should be no problem.  What I am getting is as follows:

Luvcview
--------
1) sh-4.0# luvcview -f yuv
              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
2) sh-4.0# luvcview
              luvcview version 0.2.1
              Video driver: x11
              A window manager is available
              video /dev/video0
The green light is  on and I have  a green screen. The application
is alive until Play with some of the buttons and I messages like

         ioctl querycontrol error 22
         Set Sharpness down error
         ioctl querycontrol error 22
         Set Sharpness down error
and then it  dies. I have  to use kill -9 to terminate it.

Xawtv
-----
sh-4.0# xawtv -v
          This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.29.2)
          /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
          v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
          Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*- .....
          ioctl: VIDIOC_G_STD(std=0xbffca810b7d4e000
[NTSC_M_JP,?,?,SECAM_G,SECAM_K,SECAM_L,?ATSC_8_VSB,ATSC_16_VSB,(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null)]):
Invalid argumen

when I click "Grab image (ppm) or "Grab Image (jpeg)" I get:

    no way to get: 384x288 16 bit TrueColor (LE)
    no way to get: 2048x1572 24 bit TrueColor (BE: rgb)

Uvccapture
----------
sh-4.0# uvccapture -v
           Using videodevice: /dev/video0
           Saving images to: snap.jpg
           Image size: 320x240
           Taking snapshot every 0 seconds
           Taking images using mmap
           Resetting camera settings
           ioctl querycontrol error 22
           Camera brightness level is -20
           Camera contrast level is 0
           Camera saturation level is 60
           ioctl querycontrol error 22
           Camera gain level is -1
           Saving image to: snap.jpg

the  green light goes on and off momentarily and gives me the picture snap.jpg
but nothing (xv, gimp, mplayer) seems  to understand what it is. The first
group of hex chars is

    0d 7c 0c 7f 0d 7b 0f 7d

uname -a gives

Linux lapsystemx 2.6.29.2 #15 PREEMPT Sun May 3 08:09:40 PDT 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

dmesg gives:

  usb 4-1: Product: Crystal Eye webcam
  usb 4-1: Manufacturer: SuYin
  usb 4-1: SerialNumber: CN0314-SN30-OV032-VA-R01.00.00
and
  uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Crystal Eye webcam (064e:a103)
  input: Crystal Eye webcam as /class/input/input6
  usb 4-1: adding 4-1:1.1 (config #1, interface 1)

One thing that puzzles me is that in a letter to Linux-uvc-devel Tue Feb 17
19:26:30 CET 2009, thread titled: [Linux-uvc-devel] Device ID of my UVC WebCam
Martin Koller gives lsusb -v as

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 064e:a103 Suyin Corp

which is the same as my webcam but the devices are not the same. Below I
includea diff of the two listings.

Any help to get this thing working is appreciated.

bruce
