The subversion repository is outdated and shouldn't be used. > I tried with the mercurial and I had the same thing....... The mercurial repository is where active development happens. You can grab the latest source tarball from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/archive/tip.tar.bz2 > My questions are : How can I work my camera with the new driver ? The uvcvideo driver is available in Ubuntu 9.10. It should detect your camera automatically. Does it fail to do so ? Check if the driver is loaded automatically using the lsmod command. If it isn't, try to load it manually with sudo modprobe uvcvideo You can use the dmesg command to read the kernel log and search for messages printed by the uvcvideo driver. > Is it possible to have the latest version of this driver ? > > My kernel version is 2.6.31.14.....for the moment... -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list Linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
