Sebastian,
I just bought a Logitech QC 4000, compiled the pwc driver, and fired up xawtv,
webcam, v4lctl, etc.. unfortunately, I get a uniform "grey" screen. If I od -x
/dev/video0, I get 0x80s streaming forever..
Any idea?
kernel is 2.6.13.2...
Here's some debug
[EMAIL PROTECTED] washer]# v4lctl list
