I managed to compile and load the microdia kernel module under LInux ubuntu intrepid (kernel 2.6.27-9-generic) to use this camera model: 0c45:627b, with SN9C201 bridge and OV7660 image sensor, found in Conceptronic Lounge'n'LOOK Flexcam
Reading the compatibility list I supposed that this cam is working right, but when I tested it using mplayer as suggested in "testing-microdia-driver-draft" only worked in low light conditions. If something bright is in front of the camera (light sources, or even the sky), the image freezes, or starts flickering showing weird lines/squares during some seconds, after that, the camera works as expected, but if I move the cam, the flickering starts again. Is that an auto-exposure problem?. Using the amsn video configuration wizard the results are worst, the image flickers or freezes permanently, only stops if the camera points to a darker location. Kopete crashes when the cam is plugged and the microdia module is loaded. Amsn and mplayer show the same errors: Some mplayer log: v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 6 more bits v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffd9 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffd9 v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 v4l2: select timeout ??% ??,?% 0 0 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffd9 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffd9 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 3 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits Some amsn log: libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 4 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 3 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 4 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 4 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 5 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffd9 libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 8 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 1 more bits libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: fill_nbits error: need 2 more bits Screenshots/Captures: mplayer: http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/350/mplayercapqq4.png amsn: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2189/amsncapco0.png Sorry my english ;).
