As your camera supports YUV only, the '-f uvc' argument is required. The error message returned by luvcview in [Exhibit 4] is thus normal. > I'd be grateful for anybody pointing me toward what I'm doing wrong. I'm > frankly clueless. I'm a bit puzzled as well. The camera has been listed as supported based on a user report I received on April the 27th, 2008. I haven't heard of any issue similar to the one you experienced. Could you please try setting the quirks parameter to 4 when loading the uvcvideo driver ? # modprobe uvcvideo quirks=4 If the driver is already loaded, make sure you unload it first. # rmmod uvcvideo Best regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
