There really is no need to run some custom C code to do this. If you install the 'xawtv' package, it will install the v4lctl binary which lets you expose and/or set the attributes for the v4l device.
v4lctl [-c device] list will give you an overview of the attributes of the camera. To change exposure, simply run 'v4lctl setattr Exposure 1500' (or whatever you want to change it to) and voila! it works... would be nice to have a gnome-panel applet or a control panel in cheese to do it though... -- Quickcam video too dark https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
