Public bug reported:
There seem to be an increasing number of UVC (USB Video Class) cameras
available. The sheer volume means it is unlikely that support for them
will be added to the uvcvideo driver instantly - upstream at least.
The purpose of this bug report is to collect a list of PCI IDs of
cameras that we discover will work with the driver, and hopefully get
them added to the uvcvideo driver in LUM (Linux Ubuntu Modules) at each
package upgrade.
I'm working on a DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) package for
uvcvideo, with a customisation to the driver that will allow camera PCI
IDs to be passed in to it as command-line options, for testing and
proving purposes. This makes it trivial to test the driver with new
devices without editing source and recompiling each time.
To determine if a camera is UVC compliant quickly, examine the Windows
driver package that comes with the device. If, in addition to its own
.inf file it includes usbvideo.inf then there is a strong chance it
might also work with uvcvideo - although it may need a firmware image
extracting from the Windows driver package.
Device IDs that work (and associated firmware) can be added to the LUM
package quickly, and be sent upstream too.
