Hello,

         The way I thought that the UVC driver worked was that it provides a
facade over the hardware drivers, kinda like a system API which
manufacturers (or OS developers) can design their drivers towards.  Is this
not the case?  I also tried digging around on the PWC lists but they are
pretty dead.  I assume from your question that pwc and uvc are not working
in tandem but you can use one or the other.  I guess my task is to test the
camera with uvc and pwc to see if I can get a higher resolution - is there a
way to force the camera to boot up in either system?

Cheers,

Neil
