Well ts been a little while but i've finally got the gspca patch for sn9c20x webcams into the main v4l-dvb repository. From what i've been told this patch should make it into 2.6.31 as well so the next kernel release should finally have support for sn9c20x webcams. :-)
The major change to the last patch i had posted here was removing the debugfs code and replacing it with the v4l2 get and set register ioctls. For debugging you can now use the v4l2-dbg utility that is part of the v4l-dvb repository to view and set registers on the camera. Gwater, Have you been able to figure out what exactly was wrong with your camera under the gspca version?
