I tried the current sn9c20x module after downloading/patching/
compiling libv4l 0.5.8, and the flickering finally stopped, great :).
Now I'm trying to improve the image quality using v4l2ucp, I have a
brighter image and faster fps using the windows drivers (In low light
conditions). I suppose that increasing the gain is the solution, but
v4l2ucp gives me this error: Unable to set gain.
If I load the sn9c20x module adding auto_gain=1, the lighting improves
and the fps work nicely, but the image is too noisy and it's in
grayscale. If I unload the module and I load it again without
parameters, the grayscale problem dissapears, and the webcam continues
using auto_gain... weird, but that's how I'm using it at night. The
autogain is disabled only after restarting the computer.
I've read that gain support has been added recently, but Is there a
way to increase it without using auto_gain?
Many thanks Brian and GWater for your great work with the driver :).
And thanks to nhale25 too.
