Hello,

my webcam used to work almost fine with older kernels, but failures have become 
too frequent since 3.0:

        usb 2-6.1: new high speed USB device number 19 using ehci_hcd
        uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0994)
        input: UVC Camera (046d:0994) as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-6/2-6.1/2-6.1:1.0/input/input17
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 2 on unit 2: -110 (exp.

        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 2 on unit 2: -110 (exp.

        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 2 on unit 2: -110 (exp. 
2).
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 3 on unit 2: -110 (exp. 
2).

The camera is nearly unusable right now. The video stops soon after an 
application that reads it (e.g. cheese) is started. There are numerous error 
messages related to uvcvideo in dmesg. Examples follow:

        uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0994)
        uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling 
workaround.
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (129) UVC probe control : -110 (exp. 26).
        uvcvideo: Failed to initialize the device (-5).
        uvcvideo: Deprecated UVCIOC_CTRL_{ADD,MAP_OLD,GET,SET} ioctls will be 
removed in 2.6.42.
        uvcvideo: See http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/upgrade/ for upgrade 
instructions.
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (SET_CUR) UVC control 3 on unit 1: -110 (exp.

        uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -75 (exp. 26).
        uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -110 (exp. 26).
        uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC commit control : -110 (exp. 26).
        uvcvideo: Deprecated UVCIOC_CTRL_{ADD,MAP_OLD,GET,SET} ioctls will be 
removed in 2.6.42.
        uvcvideo: See http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/upgrade/ for upgrade 
instructions.
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 2 on unit 2: -110 (exp. 
2).
        uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_MAX) UVC control 4 on unit 2: -110 (exp. 
2).

All these mesasges were observed on a 3.0.7 kernel when plugging/unplugging the 
camera a couple of times, both with and without a hub between the computer and 
the camera. (There was still the same problem in all cases.)

BTW, is there any possibility to get the motion and autofocus features running? 
They used to work fine on 32-bit kernels using the uvcdynctrl/guvcview 
combination, but there seems to be *no* way to make it work on my 64-bit 
machines. It simply doesn't work, no matter what I try. Is there an updated 
howto for this?

A piece of advice would be very heplpful. :-)
