I have a Sony VIAO laptop here with a webcam with device ID 05ca:1830. This is a Ricoh camera which needs the old r5u870 driver because this is a WDM type camera not a UVC one.
Compiling the driver no longer works on Ubunty Natty 10.04 because the 2.6.38 kernel has dropped videodev.h You get this error when compiling: ricoh-webcam-r5u870-0.11.6/r5u870/usbcam/usbcam.h:38:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory In this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg27519.html it is suggested one could copy the (needed) contents of videodev.h over to libv4l1.h Can anyone explain how to do that? I'd like to get this webcam going under Natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219252 Title: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
