Hi Ilyes,

I have to report success with m5603c on Kopete with Sweex webcam!
There are some video related warnings, occasionally errors, and
occasionally some visual artefacts though.

I start Kopete:
$ kopete --noconnect
I immediately get some errors/warnings. I'm cutting out only those
video related:
VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_STREAMOFF error 22, Invalid argument
VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_STREAMOFF error 22, Invalid argument

Then when I go to Settings->Configure->Devices, this gets printed out.
  VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT: Invalid argument

Occasionally, the image messes up for a few frames (a lot of purple
rectangles randomly appearing and disappearing on the image) - this
might be hardware problem, but I haven't experienced it under Win32.
(On the other hand, I didn't use the camera under Win32 a lot since I
don't use Win32 much in the first place :) )

Then, I was turning around the camera, and at some point I got this
printed out repeatedly:
  VIDIOC_DQBUF error 5, Input/output error
and the image is not updated until I close the dialogue.

So I get:
 ...
  VIDIOC_DQBUF error 5, Input/output error
  VIDIOC_DQBUF error 5, Input/output error
  VIDIOC_STREAMOFF error 5, Input/output error
and the video does not work until Kopete is restarted.

Otherwise, Ilyes, great work! Even the controls work properly.



Could you just look into why the image appears zoomed in? Looks like a
lot of it is clipped out. Otherwise it's pretty usable.

Some images are here:

 In folder "noise/" there's a demo of those rectangles.
 In folder "clippedout/" you can see the image produced by the webcam,
and the image I took of the camera while it was producing the image. I
think it's fairly obvious that the image should contain much more :)
