Dear Microdia people,

I wonder if you could help me get mine working? (0c45:612a Microdia,
Ubuntu 8.04)

1. I type

alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo insmod ./sn9c20x.ko
[sudo] password for alarichall:
insmod: error inserting './sn9c20x.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

When I type dmesg I see:

[17241.765359] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_ioctl2
[17241.766913] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_devdata
[17241.768586] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[17241.769115] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
[17241.769361] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_register_device
[17241.770554] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_release

Then I follow the instructions for troubleshooting:

alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo modprobe videodev
alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo modprobe compat-ioctl32
alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo insmod sn9c20x.ko

Now when I type dmesg I see:

[17241.765359] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_ioctl2
[17241.766913] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_devdata
[17241.768586] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[17241.769115] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
[17241.769361] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_register_device
[17241.770554] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_release
[17317.763060] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 6951.589501] usbcore: registered new interface driver sn9c20x
[ 6951.589666] sn9c20x: SN9C20x USB 2.0 Webcam Driver v2009.01 loaded
alarich...@branwen:~$

This doesn't look right so I try the next bit of the troubleshooting:

alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo depmod -a
alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ sudo m-a update,prepare
sudo: m-a: command not found

When I type dmesg it still says:

[17241.765359] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_ioctl2
[17241.766913] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_devdata
[17241.768586] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
[17241.769115] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
[17241.769361] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_register_device
[17241.770554] sn9c20x: Unknown symbol video_device_release
[17317.763060] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 6951.589501] usbcore: registered new interface driver sn9c20x

alarich...@branwen:~$

This clearly isn't right but I'm not sure what to do about it.

I tried doing the next stage of the instructions anyway, and this is
what I got:

alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/
v4l2convert.so mplayer tv:// \
>     -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/video0 -vo x11
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so' from LD_PRELOAD
cannot be preloaded: ignored.
The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages:
 * mplayer-nogui
 * mplayer
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
bash: mplayer: command not found
alarich...@branwen:~/microdia$

I'd be very grateful for any help, or even just an assurance that I
should give up and get a different webcam!

Thanks for all your efforts to get these microdia cameras working.

Alaric
