I am having trouble getting the OmniVision webcam in the Dell SP2309W monitor to work under Ubuntu 9.10. Others have reported that the video works right out of the box but they have problems with the audio. I don't know why my situation would be any different, but it is.
Bus 005 Device 006: ID 05a9:2649 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. I'd like to include luvcview -L output here but it has scrolled away and my attempts to correct the situation have left me unable to run it any more. It said there was one supported format, MJPG, at various resolutions and frame rate of variously 1/15 or 2/15. But even with -f mjpg it would not work. However, we probably can't debug that until I can fix my drivers. How I messed up my system: I had source downloaded a couple of months ago and built it make release make make install At this point a modprobe uvcvideo fails: FATAL: Error inserting uvcvideo (/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg says: [165394.669479] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol video_devdata [165394.669486] uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_devdata [165394.670453] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device [165394.670457] uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device [165394.670751] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_alloc [165394.670754] uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc [165394.671023] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol video_register_device [165394.671026] uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_register_device [165394.671754] uvcvideo: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_release [165394.671757] uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_device_release Wanting to get back to my previous state: make rminstall and I put back the uvcvideo.ko which was present before I ever compiled anything. But modprobe uvcvideo now fails with: WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l1-compat.ko': No such file or directory WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.ko': No such file or directory Apparently I did something wrong. How can I get back to some sane state? -- Jeff Van Epps _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
