Hey Karl,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner about this. Thanks for sending
on that binary to experiment with webcam support.
I'm still seeing that it's not working on the 701. The usbvc was
definitely attaching, and ekiga at least recognised that a camera was
present.
When running the capture program, I had:
???timf at beag[415] ./my_capture_cam_eeepc -check
my_capture_cam_eeepc Version 1.0
CAMusbvc: ERROR cont.: Running without log file (could not open)
640 x 480 format 1448695129 from input 0 (Camera Terminal)
YUV
Format is: V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV = YUYV = YUY2 = YUV422
fmt.fmt.pix.field = 1 (videodev2.h: enum v4l2_field)
fmt.fmt.pix.bytesperline = 1280
fmt.fmt.pix.sizeimage = 655360
fmt.fmt.pix.colorspace = 0 (videodev2.h: enum v4l2_colorspace: 8 ==>
COLORSPACE_SRGB)
fmt.fmt.pix.priv = 0
