    Thanks. It worked on the development branch. Free of Vista again!
    (not that it didn't take there either).

    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

    worked as well. Hoorah.

    Thanks,
    ben

            Hi Ben

            you forgot to do
            # modprobe videodev
            then /dev/video[n] will get created correctly

            try it ;-)

                Hi,

                I'm trying the same thing, without success. I'm running
                Ubuntu
                Intrepid.


                I'm trying to follow the instructions at
                
http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-draft

                [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/forays/webcam/microdia$ make clean all
                ...
                 LD [M]  /home/ben/forays/webcam/microdia/microdia.ko
                make[1]: Leaving directory

                ctags: no input files specified.
                      Try `ctags --help' for a complete list of options.
                make: *** [ctags] Error 1

                hmm. According to this thread here it is all ok:
                
http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/browse_thread/thread/709160c0ded023b6

                So I continue:
                $ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko
                insmod: error inserting './microdia.ko': -1 Unknown
                symbol in module

                Try as per the thread says
                $ sudo modprobe compat_ioctl32
                $ sudo insmod ./microdia.ko

                but camorama complains of there not being a /dev/video0.
                Taking the
                thread's instructions,
                sudo depmod -a
                sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
                sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0

                but camorama is still complaining it can't find it. And
                the following
                doesn't work either:
                mplayer tv:// -tv
                driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:fps=30


                I also tried the
                git checkout --track -b development origin/development
                suggestion, but insmod gave the same error:
                insmod: error inserting './microdia.ko': -1 Unknown
                symbol in module




                Thanks!
                ben




        And for camorama you will need to use the following line:

        $ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama

The webcam camera and microphone work, but the webcam is much slower than I experienced with windows. It certainly doesn't feel like 25fps - more like 5. I see about the same recording/playback speeds in camorama and mplayer also. The cpu does not seem to be markedly increased when I use the camera in skype, camorama or mplayer (maybe 2%) so the problem isn't that. I am using the same physical USB ports as with windows. -- FYI: My email addresses at unimelb, uq and gmail all redirect to the FYI: My email addresses at unimelb, uq and gmail all redirect to the same place.

Currently we can't influence that. Sorry.

It is possible that low lighting conditions or the JPEG compression lower the framerate.
