Seems a bit strange... pwc 10.0.11 worked fine on Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS v4 (all video resolutions with ToUcam - including qastrocam, xawtv, gnomemeeting) using the INSTALL.en instructions for just installing the module, not redoing the kernel: I also made sure the stock pwc module was deleted out of the kernel directory tree. Try these instructions and module only, rather than Novell's?
Kernel 2.6 + module - - - - - - - - - 1) download the file http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/pwc-10.0.9-rc1.tar.bz2 (or the last available file on the site) 2) unpack the file using the command command: # tar xjf pwc-10.0.9-rc1.tar.bz2 3) compile the module (this needs the source of your actual kernel to be installed) # cd pwc-10.0.9rc1 # make 4) login as root # su 5) In case an older version of the module was already installed, use the following commands to delete that module, if not go to 6) # find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name "pwc*.ko*" # rm <name of the file.ko> 6) Copy the new modules to the old ones # make install or # cp pwc.ko <path to the folder of original pwc.ko module> For example: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/{misc,extra} # depmod -a 7) Unload the old module(s) or reboot the machine # rmmod pwc # rmmod pwcx # modprobe pwc Peter --- Carlos Olle-Francisco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've trying to use my PCVC740K "ToUCam Pro" on linux > for a while without much success. > > The kernel version is: > > uname -a > Linux linux 2.6.13-15.8-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 7 > 11:07:24 > UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > > I downloaded the lastest version (10.0.11) of pwc > driver from www.saillard.org site and followed build > instructions from > > http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16340.html > > The driver seems to load ok; After the execution of > "modprobe pwc" dmesg returns this: > > pwc: Philips webcam module removed. > pwc: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint > flag. > pwc: Philips webcam module version > 10.0.11-unofficial > loaded. > pwc: Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, > PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840. > pwc: Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech > Quickcams, Samsung MPC-C10 and MPC-C30, > pwc: the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye > and Visionite VCS-UC300 and VCS-UM100. > pwc: Philips PCVC740K (ToUCam Pro)/PCVC840 (ToUCam > II) > USB webcam detected. > pwc: Registered as /dev/video0. > usbcore: registered new driver Philips webcam > > running "setpwc -p" returns: > > setpwc v1.1, (C) 2003-2005 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Current device: Philips 740 webcam > VIDIOCPWCPROBE returns: Philips 740 webcam - 740 > Serial number: RS100003E1D8001 > Resolution (x, y): 176, 144 > Offset: 0, 0 > Framerate: 10 > Brightness: 32256 > Hue: 65535 > Colour: 32768 > Contrast: 32768 > Whiteness: 43008 > Palette: YUV 4:2:0 Planar > Compression preference: 1 > Automatic gain control: -2093 > Whitebalance mode: auto > Blinking of LED is not supported by the combination > of > your webcam and the driver. > Sharpness: -1 > Backlight compensation mode: off > Anti-flicker mode: off > Noise reduction mode: 1 > Pan/tilt range is not supported by the combination > of > your webcam and the driver. > Get pan/tilt position is not supported by the > combination of your webcam and the driver. > > The problem is that xawtv, kopete, gnomemeeting and > other applications hung in trying to use the webcam. > The problem seems to appear only on resolutions > higher > than 160x120.
