Hello, I just today received my ToUcam Pro PCVC740K in the mail today, and having previously downloaded and installed your Saillard PWC module for Linux, and removed the stock PWC module, when I plugged it in, and brought up qAstroCam on Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS v4, all worked very well.
With Saillard PWC and qAstroCam it lets me switch between three video modes (160x120,340x240,640x480) successfully, and also has a drop down box which will understand the http://www.qcuiag.co.uk/ long exposure mod if I can get around to performing it. All appears functional - ask me any questions about the pwc and ToUcam Pro performance, and I can answer as I come to them. Thank you Saillard !!! :) Peter PS: Linux and the Saillard pwc (which is much bigger when compiled than the stock pwc): [EMAIL PROTECTED] qAstroCam]# lsmod | grep pwc pwc 79508 1 videodev 9793 2 pwc [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL]# ls -l ./kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 680598 Feb 5 10:45 ./kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko Stock pwc removed: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.EL/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] pwc]# ls -l total 0 --- John Stoffel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mark> Please make that a top priority.
