hello. I have an issue with a netbook webcam that used to work perfectly with uvcvideo on debian squeeze.
suddenly, the webcam is not working anymore. the webcam is recognized, the device is created in /dev but no video is received. lsusb identifies the webcam as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0402:5606 ALi Corp. M5606 Video CameraController [UVC] issue is that, if I remember correctly, the webcam used to be identified with differnt codes, going by memory lsusb used to report it as "Acer something" with different id numbers. I havent changed any driver/firmware/BIOS or anything like that recently. Any advise how to try getting the webcam back to work? So far I tried resetting the system controller of the netbook (an MSI WIND U100) and repeadetly switching the webcam on/off (the hardware key Fn-F6 to toggle the webcam still works, I can see the webcam in and out in lsusb). Any advise before assuming some kind of hardware failure?
