I've a little investigated. This is what I've noticed. http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingDrivers is a good basis, I don't know in which state is your source code, but it seems to have to be checked against these requirements. The MAINTAINERS file in the kernel tree: 2. Try to release a few ALPHA test versions to the net. Announce them onto the kernel channel and await results. This is especially important for device drivers, because often that's the only way you will find things like the fact version 3 firmware needs a magic fix you didn't know about, or some clown changed the chips on a board and not its name. (Don't laugh! Look at the SMC etherpower for that.) I think we should make a tarball ready-to-test, no? Next, there is no maintainer for the whole media/video stuff but a mailing list: [email protected] This list may IMHO be used to announce the ALPHA presented before. After mailing to the list, we may be driven by people knowing exactly what to do in the specific case of this driver. Does all this seem reasonable to you? What pending patches / ideas is there? If SXGA is not ready, I think this doesn't matter since it may be part of a latter update so there is not too much to release in one block. Johndescs P.S. If you think I'm too quick and going in a hurry, let me know... I just hope to help this being available for the whole community. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Lets make microdia webcams plug'n play, (currently plug'n pray) To post to this group, send email to [email protected] Visit us online https://groups.google.com/group/microdia -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
