Re: Lenovo compact webcam 17ef:4802
The gspca module is provided as part of the kernel. The kernel version is 2.6.30-10 The libv4l version is 0.6.3-1 Is there a way that I can display the version of gspca? I looked in dmesg and /var/log/messages but didn't find a version listed. I think cheese may be using gstreamer. How can I confirm whether cheese or skype are using v4l? //Bill On 01/04/2010 04:19 AM, Jean-Francois Moine wrote: On Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:51:37 -0500 Bill Whiting wrote: I have not been able to get an image from a Lenovo webcam under Fedora 11.

First, do you use the v4l library when running cheese or skype? Then, may you get the last video stuff from LinuxTv.org and check if it works?

Lenovo compact webcam 17ef:4802
I have not been able to get an image from a Lenovo webcam under Fedora 11. It reports to the kernel with USB id 17ef:4802 as below: kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=17ef, idProduct=4802 kernel: usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 kernel: usb 1-3: Product: Lenovo USB Webcam kernel: usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Primax kernel: usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice kernel: gspca: probing 17ef:4802 kernel: vc032x: check sensor header 20 kernel: vc032x: Sensor ID 143a (3) kernel: vc032x: Find Sensor MI1310_SOC kernel: gspca: probe ok When I try to access the web cam with cheese or skype I get the following error in /var/log/messages: gspca: frame overflow 332800 > 331776 Sometimes cheese shows an image resolution under the preferences menu option. If the resolution is shown, then cheese will display a black image. If I run gstreamer-properties from the command line, it complains of missing plugins: gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'glimagesink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon' Are these significant? What package would supply them? //Bill -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
