There is no driver yet as far as I know.. But the camera hardware is a
Sonix SN9C202 bridge with an Omnivisjon ov9650 sensor. Probably. This is
based on my own disassembling of the camera + visual inspection of the
sensor shape (some dots on the ov9650 that are placed in a kind of
pattern). And MS uses Omnivision in their NX-6000 and VX-3000 cams, so I
guess this makes sense.


By replacing the device-id for the VX-3000 with 0x00f4 for the VX-6000
camera in the gspca driver, I get the following dmesg output:

[494773.820000] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 74
[494773.952000] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

camera found. SONIX JPEG (sn9c1xx) 
[494773.952000] /home/kristian/gspcav1-20070426/gspca_core.c:

[494774.068000] 74:2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x84


If I then tries the luvcview:

luvcview version 0.2.0 
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0 
ERROR opening V4L interface 
: Invalid argument

and in dmesg the following is added:

 [494887.260000] /home/kristian/gspcav1-20070426/gspca_core.c:
[spca5xx_open:1919] DEALLOC error on spca50x_init_source
[494887.260000] 

Does this mean that the sn9c1xx chipset/bridge is initialized, but since
the sensor in this camera is another one than the one in VX3000 it can't
read from the sensor?


I can add that if I run the luvcview without camera connected I'll get
luvcview version 0.2.0 
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0 
ERROR opening V4L interface 
: No such file or directory

Instead of : Invalid argument.
