Hello, I bought a LifeCam VX-6000 today only to find that it didn't work that well with Ubuntu (no /dev/video* device). After some googling I ended up here and I tested the microdia driver and it worked (vlc/mplayer but not cheese).
Thanks for building this thing guys! Keep up the good work. I have some questions: * Is there any plans to get this driver merged into Linus tree? * How _much_ work remains before it can be merged? * What exactly remains to be done before you can merge the first version into mainline? * I've not written much drivers before but I know C well; if there is anything I can do to help get this driver into mainline faster please let me know. --- btw, I ran into one little snag where the power wasnt sufficient for the cam when it was connected to the USB port on my keyboard, and once I had loaded the module properly my /dev/video0 wasnt created until I unplugged the cam and plugged it in again. I posted dmesg output here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/87054/comments/27 Martin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Lets make microdia webcams plug'n play, (currently plug'n pray) To post to this group, send email to [email protected] Visit us online https://groups.google.com/group/microdia -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
