Hi all
I am sorry to write to this group only for complaining but.. I have a
problem with my Microdi a6260
$lsusb
Bus 007 Device 008: ID 0c45:6260 Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201)
Basically, I have been far from the group for a while ( probably since
mid November ). I checked in to see if something changed in the
meanwhile, and I gladly see that the development continued in
supporting new webcams and improving the quality of the already
existing ones.
In September the driver allowed me to use cheese and other
applications ( not skype, where the image quality was ugly ).
I tried today the new driver but for me the situation didn't changed
in anything better. I mean, I keep not being able to use Skype
( totally black screen ) but now even the situation with cheese and
mplayer ( that previously worked like a breeze ) is bad.
If I run the following command
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so mplayer tv:// -tv \
driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/video0 -vo
xv
the output is the one I uploaded on files, with the name "Cagliano-
Cheese.png"
how I build stuffs:
- sudo apt-get install libv2*
- followed the instructions on "http://groups.google.com/group/
microdia/web/testing-microdia-driver-draft" and installed the drivers
with
# strip -g sn9c20x.ko
# mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/
usbvideo/
# cp sn9c20x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/
usbvideo/
# depmod -a
So the question is: am I missing something? are my problems normal ( I
need to wait ) or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for all the help
Ciao!
