Ok its been a while my laptop has been out of service for the last several weeks. Finally got it back up an running.
I've merged a the more recent changes from master into prepare-for-kernel as well included two previous patches from Vasily that never got committed to this branch. This should fix the issue with compiling with evdev support disabled that Corrado was having. I've tested compiling this in tree both built in and as a module for the latest git kernel and it seems to work fine for me. Regarding support for SXGA. It still only support higher resolutions in bayer mode since i have been unable to get it to deliver full frames in any other format. This should be safe since the patch currently dis allows setting any other format besides Bayer when using SXGA resolutions. Also at the moment this is only supported for ov965x sensors since that is what i use. but additional patches to enable SXGA mode on other capable sensors should not be hard just need someone who can test those and make sure they work. I propose we get the current version of this patch committed and later other patches can add support for other sensors and possibly eventually other formats besides Bayer; For submitting the patch. Documentation/SubmittingPatches section 8 seems to say that for patches exceeding 40kB(ours is around 250kB) you should instead of attaching the patch inline post a link to it instead. I would also be inclined myself probably to add an entry to the MAINTAINERS file as well. I is not necessary to direct patches to this mailing list most of the webcams that have indivdual mainters just use the linux-media list as far as i can tell. I'm currently working on fixing up a patch against the linux kernel that should add our driver into it.
