Hi Theodore
It looks like I'll have to keep checking eBay for cheap USB v3 (HD)
webcams periodically.
Which somebody will need to support because they will probably not work
out of the box with an OEM driver CD ;-)
Ah yes, there is that aspect to think about before making a purchase
:-).

Hi Theodore
As to getting that kind of resolution out of a webcam, though, it would be
a rather tough go due to the amount of data which has to pass over the
wire even if it is compressed data. The frame rate would be pretty
atrocious. Therefore, you are probably not going to see that kind
Hi Jean-Francois
It seems that the webcams handled by the driver sn9c20x work the same
as the ones handled by sonixj. In this last driver, I adjust the JPEG
compression to avoid the errors USB FIFO full, and I think that these
errors also raise the URB error -18 with the sn9c20x. I will need

Thanks very much for the follow-up emails. Our time-zone differences

Hi Hans
The good news is that the nasty errors I was getting yesterday have
magically disappeared overnight!
That is likely because the scene you're pointing at (or the lighting
conditions) have changed, not all pictures compress equally well
with JPEG. If you point the camera at the same

Hi Hans
Thanks for letting me know that this problem will be fixed in Linux
v3.3. It could be several weeks before my distribution releases that
kernel. Dropping back to Linux v3.1 isn't an option, as my NVIDIA
driver requires Linux v3.2. Can the fix for this problem also be
applied to Linux

My Microdia (SN9C201) webcam was working in Linux, but it has been
failing lately. Take a look at the attached snapshot to see what I
mean. It's like that all the time in Linux these days, but it works
perfectly in Windows.
Thanks for the picture
