Re: genius islim 310 webcam test
Hi Sergei, thanks for the report.
Hi Jean-Francois, I got this report about a working Genius iSlim 310
webcam. Maybe it would be a good idea to add the device 0x093a:0x2625
in pac7302.c. Should I send a patch for you?
Regards,
Márton Németh

Hello Németh and Sergei, I think the patch is not needed because it just gives the vend:prod which is already known by lsusb. To avoid misunderstandings, the patch I sent is not just printing the USB vendor ID and product ID but also really enables the pac7302 gspca subdriver to actually work with the newly added USB IDs. On the other hand, compiling a full kernel is not needed with a small tarball distribution as the one I have in my page (actual gspca-2.9.10). This is also a possible way to go, the important thing is that a kernel module has to be built and the previous version of gspca_pac7302 kernel module has to be replaced with the newly built one.

Hello Sergei,

Hi!
I have a Genius iSlim 310 webcam and linux ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31. My
developer level under linux - beginner (very beginner) :) but i'm ready
to test this webcam undr linux. But I need the instructions:) How was
your success in the launch of this webcam under Linux?
Sincerely, Sergei Krivchikov.
Currently the Genius iSlim 310 webcam is not supported by the mainline Linux
kernel, but I think that the support can be added very easily. See the
description at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PixArt_PAC7301/PAC7302 why.
First thing what I'll need that you connect your Genius iSlim 310 to the Linux
box, open an xterm and send the output of lsusb command. Then we can find
out the USB ID of the device.
Also, please send the output of dmesg. The easiest way to do this is to redirect
the standard output to a file like this: dmesg dmesg.txt and then send the
created file as an attachment.
The next thing is that you need to learn how to compile the Linux kernel
from source code. There is a description for Ubuntu at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile . After you are able to
compile and install your new kernel, you can try to apply the patch in this
email, recompile the kernel, install the kernel and the modules,
unload the gspca_pac7302 kernel module (rmmod gspca_pac7302), and then
plug the webcam in order it can load the new kernel module. When you were
successful with these steps you'll see new messages in the output of dmesg
command. Please send this output also.
Finally, what you will also need is that the libv4l-0 package of Ubuntu
( http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libv4l-0 ) is installed on your computer.
This package you may have already installed.
These are the main points. Let's see how far you can proceed. Let me know
if you need further assistance.

Márton Németh

pages 19, 20, 21 and 22 there is a note titled PID IO_TRAP which describes
the possible product ID range 0x2620..0x262f. In this range there are some
known webcams, however, there are some PIDs with unknown or future devices.
Because PixArt PAC7301/PAC7302 is a System on a Chip (SoC) device is is
probable that this driver will work correctly independent of the used PID.
