También compilé el módulo qc pero el resultado es el mismo.

¿Alguna sugerencia?

logitech quickcam chat on lenny

2009-06-03 Thread Tony Baldwin
I've asked about this on several forums, #debian at freenode, and, I 
believe, on this list, but have still not found a successful resolution.


I have a Logitech Quickcam Chat.
It worked out of the box in PCLinuxOS, but I can't get it to work with 
Debian (had issues with a previous Ubuntu install, too).

It is listed in lsusb without issue.
I've loaded and m-a and modprobed gspca, qc-usb, quickcam, sacrificed my 
two best goats, and done the rain dance (thundering already), tried the 
backport 2.6.29 kernel, and run around the hills of Rome 7 times, but no 
joy.

There was no /dev/video0, which seems to be an issue.
I read something about mknod, but not sure if this is a potential 
solution, or how to use it (read the man, even). I'm a bit confused 
about that.
Nonetheless, I did mknod c /dev/video0 81 0, chmod 666 /dev/video0, and 
ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video, etc., etc., but still get the error no 
device /dev/video0 from camorama, etc.
Running MAKEDEV quits with errors, .udevdb or .udev presence implies 
active udev. Aborting MAKEDEV invocation.


Oddly, Xsane sees the camera and can get a fuzzy image from it.
Skype, ekiga, kopete, cheese, camorama, and your mother's dog all are 
unable to use the camera.

Some give errors, some don't.

If nobody has this working or can assist,
can someone make a definitive recommendation for a camera that does 
work, preferably without having to repeat my herculean efforts to date 
trying to get this $20.00 camera working?
It just might be worth the $20 to buy a different cam and save myself 
further headaches.


thanks
tony

logitech quickcam, lenny

2009-05-24 Thread Tony Baldwin

I've been trying to get my logitech quickcam chat to work, to no avail.
I've pasted some relevant info to  http://debian.pastebin.com/d55219dd7

(output from dmesg, lsusb, lsmod, ls -la /proc/video/quickam, etc., etc.)

I've done much googling and rtfm-ing, although I've found nothing 
specific to my model (quickcam chat), but many other logitech quickcams.
I've loaded and m-a and modprobed gspca, qc-usb, quickcam, sacrificed my 
two best goats, and done the rain dance (thundering already), tried the 
backport 2.6.29 kernel, and run around the hills of Rome 7 times, but no 
joy.


There is no /dev/video0, which seems to be an issue, but I am not aware 
of how to resolve that.
I read something about mknod, but not sure if this is a potential 
solution, or how to use it (read the man, even).  I'm a bit confused 
about that.


Camera, camorama, cheese, skype, can not see the camera, but it is 
listed in lsusb.  These programs all tell me that there is no relevant 
device.
Xsane, oddly enough, does see the camera and can get a very rough image 
(not enough light when I tried that, perhaps) if I use 2.6.29 kernel, 
but not with 2.6.28.
I had difficulties installing the headers for 2.6.29 (kept getting some 
[Error 2], despite following these instructions to load the headers: 
http://paste.debian.net/36920/ and attempting to get them with aptitude 
-t lenny backports), however, which rendered difficult (impossible) 
loading of relevant modules for that kernel, so switched back to 2.6.28.
I did load the modules for the 2.6.28 kernel without issue, to my 
knowledge, except the remaining issue, of course, that my camera is not 
working and not seen by any relevant apps (including xsane for 2.6.28 
kernel).


I had the camera working perfectly with kopete, camorama, etc. in 
PCLinuxOS with gspca modules (but not with skype), and it was pretty 
trivial to get that going.
In Ubuntu, cheese could see and use the camera, but not kopete, skype, 
etc.  I didn't do much fiddling with Ubuntu, b/c I had it on here for a 
week before deciding I didn't want it holding my hand, and installed 
Lenny (why ride in the cheap seats when I can get on the mothership?)


If anyone has one of these working, or knows how I can get it working, I 
would be muy agradecido.


Various sincere attempts were made to assist me at #debian, but still to 
no avail.  I don't seem to be able to find logs from the channel at 
oftc.net.  I don't know if logs are publicly available.


thanks,
tony

All this talk about spca... Isn't there a quickcam specific driver? I
know there is... qc-usb-source is the package. I used for some logitech
quickcam some time ago.


That's what I thought, when I was reading the list of packages found by
Synaptic, when I searched for webcam.

However, ... we are all of differing levels of Debian system
administration competency, and I rely on packages being ready to go -
either using Synaptic to download and install a package, and then
expecting for it to be ready to use, or, using apt-get install, or,
downloading a package and using dpkg -i . But, not having to compile and
build a package.

I found
The qc-usb-source package is a skeleton for creating a kernel module
to drive Logitech's QuickCam Express webcam and other webcams with
similar chipsets.
and
qc-usb-utils
Utility programs for the qc-usb kernel module
Utilities to tweak paramters of your QuickCam Express or similar
webcam. These programs are completely useless without a
qc-usb-modules package.

That sounds like that needs a kernel build to use - much too advanced
for me.


no no not at all. you can use module assistant, I'd bet.I just
checked, it is one of the packages you can build with
module-assistant.

at a minimum, you can do:

aptitude install module-assistant
m-a update
m-a prepare
m-a a-i qc-usb

if all goes well, you'll be done.

module-assistant also has a curses interface you can play with. Be
sure to check out /usr/share/doc/module-assistant/HOWTO

it's very easy.


Very.


A





Okay.

Running m-a a-i qc-usb might have been easy, but it does not result in 
an application that I can run.


I still do not have an application that runs on Debian 4.0, that will 
allow me to record video with sound, from the Logitech QuickCam 
Communicate STX.


So, I booted the laptop into Windows XP, and installed the software that 
came with the webcam, and got that running, but the video files that 
that creates, are only in the .wmv file format, and the only application 
that I have on Debian 4.0, that can read .wmv files, is xine, and, 
whilst that plays the sound, it does things to the video component, 
that are like what I imagine an acid trip to be like; kind of like a 
Lucy in the sky with diamonds kind of thing.


If I cannot run the webcam with Debian 4.0, to record videoclips, does a 
converter exist for Debian 4.0, that can convert .wmv files into .mpeg 
files, so that the files cam be platform independent?


Apart from the desire to be able to use the webcam to make video files 
(and, video calls) on Linux, I have a relative who uses a Mac, and I 
don't know that .wmv files can be viewed on a Mac.

The reason that Logitech does not support Linux is because traditional
Linux users were too hardcore to write to the hardware companies and
simply ask for it. They preferred to stay up at night with a hex
editor and write their own drivers.

Now that Linux is in use by the masses we can start asking the
hardware manufacturers to support our OS. Here is the address to write
to Logitech:
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php

Let them know that you use Debian and that you want to continue
enjoying Logitech's quality hardware instead of going with a different
webcam manufacturer.

umm... why are you manually installing mencoder? You should use your
package manager to install it. mencoder is available from the regular
apt repos. you may have better luck though with the mencoder from
debian-multimedia as it will have some of the non-free stuff. It's
been a while though since I compared mencoder versions, so that's old
info.

  All this talk about spca... Isn't there a quickcam specific driver? I

  That's what I thought, when I was reading the list of packages found by
  Synaptic, when I searched for webcam.
 
  However, ... we are all of differing levels of Debian system
  administration competency, and I rely on packages being ready to go -
  either using Synaptic to download and install a package, and then
  expecting for it to be ready to use, or, using apt-get install, or,
  downloading a package and using dpkg -i . But, not having to compile and
  build a package.
 
  I found
  The qc-usb-source package is a skeleton for creating a kernel module
  to drive Logitech's QuickCam Express webcam and other webcams with
  similar chipsets.
  and
  qc-usb-utils
  Utility programs for the qc-usb kernel module
  Utilities to tweak paramters of your QuickCam Express or similar
  webcam. These programs are completely useless without a
  qc-usb-modules package.
 
  That sounds like that needs a kernel build to use - much too advanced
  for me.

 no no not at all. you can use module assistant, I'd bet.I just
 checked, it is one of the packages you can build with
 module-assistant.

 at a minimum, you can do:

 aptitude install module-assistant
 m-a update
 m-a prepare
 m-a a-i qc-usb

 if all goes well, you'll be done.

 module-assistant also has a curses interface you can play with. Be
 sure to check out /usr/share/doc/module-assistant/HOWTO

 it's very easy.

Very.

Using Logitech Quickcam on Debian 4.0

2008-08-08 Thread Bret Busby


Hello.

I am running Debian 4.0 on a number of computers (laptop and desktop).

I have a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX webcam.

I have searched on the Internet, to try to find how to set it up and use 
it, for making video recordings and video calls.


I have installed a driver, spca5xx, and camerama, and camstream.

With what I have installed, I can get a moving image displayed on the 
(laptop) screen, but I can record only still images of me.


How do I get it to record video clips?

I have just run Ekiga, not to make a call, but to check that the webcam 
works with that, but, until the people that I want to contact, have 
webcams and Ekiga set up, I want to be able to send them little video clips 
with the web cam (to try to encourage them to make video calls).


Thank you in anticipation.

That one has the following text:

How can I record video from my webcam?

One way is to use FFmpeg with the following command line:

ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 -an -vcodec mpeg4 -s 640x480 output.avi

This records video (no audio) from the /dev/video0 device at a 
resolution of 640x480 and writes it to output.avi.


However, what I want to be able to do, is to record a videoclip with 
sound, so that I can send a videoclip of my silly looking face moving, 
as I talk, to relatives and friends, so that they can see what a video 
call would look like.


I basically want to be able to make video clips that would be like video 
calls, but that are not interactive, like video calls, so that I could 
send the videoclips by email.


Thank you in anticipation.

man ffmpeg and learn how to capture the audio as well. The very first
example in the man page Examples section shows one way to do it. It
depends of course on whether the spca driver actually works with audio
and captures an audio stream. That I don't know.

and you might look at the gscpa drivers, which I think are more
up-to-date, but it's been a while...

wow. that looks kind of like there might be a problem in the
driver. If you can't cat from the video device, then there's something
seriously wrong. I highly recommend you check out the gspca drivers
instead of the spca5xx-source packages. I have used the gspca drivers
without difficulty, though there was no sound implemented for my
particular camera. ymmv.

there is both a gspca-source and gspca-modules-... packages. IIRC, the
spca5xx is being replaced upstream...

I'm sorry, I thought I remembered someone saying they were using
spca5xx. 

hmmm... I'm no real help then. It looks like you've installed from
upstream though, perhaps? Maybe try the debian gspca-modules packages
and see what that gets you. 

That's all I've got.

 wow. that looks kind of like there might be a problem in the
 driver. If you can't cat from the video device, then there's something
 seriously wrong. I highly recommend you check out the gspca drivers
 instead of the spca5xx-source packages. I have used the gspca drivers
 without difficulty, though there was no sound implemented for my
 particular camera. ymmv.

 there is both a gspca-source and gspca-modules-... packages. IIRC, the
 spca5xx is being replaced upstream...

All this talk about spca... Isn't there a quickcam specific driver? I know 
there is... qc-usb-source is the package. I used for some logitech quickcam 
some time ago.

I'm sorry, I thought I remembered someone saying they were using
spca5xx.

hmmm... I'm no real help then. It looks like you've installed from
upstream though, perhaps? Maybe try the debian gspca-modules packages
and see what that gets you.

That's all I've got.




Mesa the one who has spca5xx installed (spca? Sounds like the society

I have posted a query on the Logitech forum about it (see

That's what I thought, when I was reading the list of packages found by

However, ... we are all of differing levels of Debian system

either using Synaptic to download and install a package, and then 
expecting for it to be ready to use, or, using apt-get install, or, 
downloading a package and using dpkg -i . But, not having to compile and 
build a package.


I found
The qc-usb-source package is a skeleton for creating a kernel module
to drive Logitech's QuickCam Express webcam and other webcams with
similar chipsets.
and
qc-usb-utils
Utility programs for the qc-usb kernel module
Utilities to tweak paramters of your QuickCam Express or similar
webcam. These programs are completely useless without a
qc-usb-modules package.

That sounds like that needs a kernel build to use - much too advanced 
for me.


I also kave gqcam installed, and gspca-modules-2.6.18-6-686 and webcam, 
webcamd and webcam-server.

no no not at all. you can use module assistant, I'd bet.I just
checked, it is one of the packages you can build with
module-assistant. 

at a minimum, you can do:

aptitude install module-assistant
m-a update
m-a prepare
m-a a-i qc-usb

if all goes well, you'll be done. 

module-assistant also has a curses interface you can play with. Be
sure to check out /usr/share/doc/module-assistant/HOWTO

it's very easy.

I purged spca5xx and installed gspca from the tarball and now with camorama,
I can get streaming and capture, but only at a low resolution, (176 x 144),
but at least it works.

I can get higher resolutions with camstream, but they show major defects in
the rendition, such as showing only a partial frame, or jagged lines across
the image.

Still it looks as if it can be fully supported in the future.

It doesn't create *any* video* device at all. My apps - camstream or
camorama wanted /dev/video0 and I think it was xawtv wanted /dev/video, but
I suppose that could be changed in the app setup for xawtv.

symlinking from /dev/.static/dev/video0 to /dev/video0 did not work.
there is a symlink /dev/.static/dev/video to video0, so I presume /dev/video
would be a symlink also if it existed.

I'm not sure. Maybe I can check the logs and find out. The Quickcam is
working (minimally) now and I'd like to keep on using it.

but it works for me on a couple logitech cameras (not chat).

What does dmesg give your right after:

This:

usbcore: registered new driver spca5xx
/usr/src/modules/spca5xx/drivers/usb/spca5xx.c: spca5xx driver
00.60.00 registered

And even after this you dont get /dev/video ?
  
   That's correct.
   I tried using MAKDEV, but it only created stuff in /dev/.static/dev
   
   That happens because udev should normally handle the device nodes
   automatically. What messages do you get if you start
   
   udevmonitor
   
   and then plug in the camera?
  I get the following:
  UEVENT[1176670280.086049] add@/devices/pci:00/:00:13.1/usb4/4-2
  UEVENT[1176670280.086132]

  UEVENT[1176670280.089077]

  UEVENT[1176670280.089137]
  add@/devices/pci:00/:00:13.1/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/usbdev4.3_ep81
  UEVENT[1176670280.089149] add@/class/usb_device/usbdev4.3
  UDEV  [1176670280.124411]

  UDEV  [1176670280.127800]
  add@/devices/pci:00/:00:13.1/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0
  UDEV  [1176670280.219247]

  UDEV  [1176670280.260397] add@/class/usb_device/usbdev4.3
 
 So udev does create some device nodes but not /dev/video0. What happens
 if you symlink the device as /dev/video? 
 
 [ snip: purging hotplug has been taken care of ]
 
  As a parenthetical note, I have an elcheapo webcam which is detected, the
  module is loaded and the /dev/video0 device created just perfectly, so I am
  sure udev is doing its job, in the case of that device
 
 Is there any difference in the output of udevmonitor when you plug in
 that camera?

How to set up Logitech Quickcam Chat in Debian Testing

2007-04-15 Thread David Dawson
I'm running Debian Testing and trying to set up a Logitech Quickcam Chat.
it supposedly uses the spca5xx driver and is alleged to work.
I have installed the driver with module-assistant.

I have noticed that suddenly, the /dev/video* devices are not present (they
exist only in /dev/.static/dev/)

I might have messed up that somehow (I worked at it rather late at night) or
maybe there's a foo-foo in the system.
I am running the  2.6.18-3-k7 kernel on my K7S5A Pro/Athlon 1800+ system.
And have updated/upgraded to current Debian Testing.

Any webcam app I run (root or not) complains about no /dev/video0
or /dev/video (as the case may be) and symlinking the video* devices
in .static/dev to /dev/ won't work

lsusb shows the device is detected and this is the output:
Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:092e Logitech, Inc.

Any help is appreciated.

That happens because udev should normally handle the device nodes
automatically. What messages do you get if you start 

udevmonitor

and then plug in the camera?

One other thing: Is your system old enough to have been upgraded from a
version of Debian which still used hotplug? In that case you have to
make sure that the hotplug package is now purged (not just removed).

It is old enough, but I have removed and purged hotplug some time ago.
I was aware of that issue.

That is: apt-get remove hotplug --purge

Re: Logitech QuickCam Web unter Linux

2006-11-05 Thread Christian Blaesing
Hallo Michelle,

 Komme gerade vom Yufkaessen mit eine Bekannten und er hat mir eine
 Logitech QuickCam Web gegeben, die er nicht unter Linux zum Laufen
 gebracht hat.  Jetzt sitze ich hier in der Wohnung an meinem TP570
 und habe so ziehmlich alles an Modulen geladen was so in Frage
 kommen könnte nur geht hier garnichts.

Welches QuickCam-Modell ist es denn genau (lsusb-ausgabe mal posten...)? 
Einige QuickCams laufen mit dem PWC-Modul (seit neuesten auch mit 
Kompression im 2.6er Kernel enthalten).
Kompatible Modelle findest du hier:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/PWC/WorkingWebcamsWithPWC


 gqcam ist auch installiert.

Nach einem modprobe pwc kannst du mit camstream (Debian-Paket vorhanden) 
testen, ob es funktioniert.


 Was nicht schlecht währe ist, ein commandline tool fürs einbinden
 in eine Webseite und wenn es VLC über video4linux ansprechen kann.

Schau Dir mal vgrabbj an.

Viele Grüße,
Christian

Quel module pour une webcam Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX ?

2006-11-03 Thread David BERCOT
Re-bonjour,

Jusqu'à très récemment, j'utilisais spca5xx pour ma webcam (une Logitech
Quickcam Communicate STX). Or, depuis que j'ai installé les modules de
ma carte TNT (em28xx et em2880-dvb), ce module ne fonctionne plus.

Le résultat de dmesg est :
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
spca5xx: disagrees about version of symbol video_devdata
spca5xx: Unknown symbol video_devdata
spca5xx: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device
spca5xx: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
spca5xx: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_alloc
spca5xx: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
spca5xx: disagrees about version of symbol video_register_device
spca5xx: Unknown symbol video_register_device
spca5xx: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_release
spca5xx: Unknown symbol video_device_release

Apparemment, ça viendrait d'un problème de compatibilité entre la partie
videodev du noyau et celle fournit par Mercurial que j'ai du installer
pour ma carte TNT.
Qu'à cela ne tienne, j'ai donc essayé de recompiler spca5xx.

Logitech Quickcam Zoom Webcam

Hi folks,

Here's a problem that's been plaguing me all day and
try as I may I've not had any luck with the various
resources online or several google searches.

I've been trying to get my Logitech Quickcam Zoom
webcam to work under Debian Testing with the 2.6.16-2
kernel.  All I can get in xawtv or gqcam are blank
grey or green screens, and altho kopete recognises the
webcam is a available on accessing it all that is sent
is purple and grey snow.  If requested I will post
screenshots.

On connecting the webcam dmesg shows:
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pwc Logitech QuickCam Zoom USB webcam detected.
pwc Registered as /dev/video0.

And the /dev/video0 shows as:
crw-rw 1 root video 81, 0 2006-09-07 17:42 /dev/video0

My user is a member of the video group.

lsmod | grep pwc shows that the pwc module (from the stock Debian
kernel) that this webcam uses is loaded correctly:
pwc44336  0
compat_ioctl32  1184  1 pwc
videodev8640  1 pwc
usbcore   110560  5 snd_usb_audio, snd_usb_lib, pwc,
uhci_hcd

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to how to
get this to work properly?  Or managed to solve this
themselves in the past?

All help gratefully received!

Many thanks
Beej :o)

One tip other's might appreciate in respect to this camera that I've just

gnomemeeting logitech quickcam pro 3000

2005-12-06 Thread Fisher, Jason
Title: gnomemeeting logitech quickcam pro 3000






Hi all. I have a logitech quickcam pro 3000 webcam which works fine with camorama. When I try to use gnomemeeting, I end up with a very distorted video feed. I can tell that it is working to some extent because as i move my hand in front of the lense, the image changes somewhat though its stays distorted with slightly off-horizontal lines. Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

I'm running kernel 2.6.12-1-686 with pwc-modules-2.6.12-1-686.

webcam logitech quickcam messenger, résolution 640x480 ?

2005-07-27 Thread Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)

Bonjour,

J'ai installé une webcam Logitech QuickCam Messenger.
Elle fonctionne à peu près bien mais la résolution max disponible n'est  
que de 324x248.


Sous Winodows, il semble (c'est ce qui est donné dans les  
caractéristiques) qu'elle soit capable d'une résolution de 640x480.


J'utilise le module et les utilitaires trouvés à l'adresse suivante :

http://home.mag.cx/messenger/

Il s'agit apparament d'une modification du module prévu pour la  
QUickCam Express dont le support existe sous Debian (qc-usb-source et  
qc-usb-utils) ; j'ai donc créé un paquet perso en partant de celui de  
Debian et des sources induqées.


Est-ce qu'il y a un moyen d'obtenir cette résolution sous windows ?

Jean-Luc

Logitech Quickcam

2004-09-15 Thread Martin Röhricht
Hallo beisammen,
jetzt hat mich doch ein Freund in Übersee überredet, mal meine alte 
Logitech Quickcam auszupacken und zu nutzen. Ich habe mich an das Thema 
rangewagt, komme aber irgendwie nicht weiter. Wenn ich also das Teil, 
von dem ich nichtmal mehr die genaue Bezeichnung erfahren kann, an USB 
anstecke kommt lediglich

Sep 15 19:07:46 Moe kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using 
address 2

Also noch nicht gerade viel. Daraufhin recherchierte ich etwas. Es 
scheint ja diesen Treiber zu geben, namens qc-usb woraufhin ich per
	apt-get install qc-usb-source
dessen Quellen installierte. Leider weiß ich nun schon nicht mehr, wie 
ich nun mit denen weiter vorgehe :-/

Ferner benötige ich wohl vom Kernel Unterstützung von V4L. Ich schaute 
in meiner config nach und ... damn, nicht aktiviert. Daher meine zweite 
Frage: Gibt es einen Weg, wie ich das V4L nachträglich in meinen Kernel 
bringe, quasi als Modul? Oder muss ich den Kernel neu übersetzen?

Vielleicht kann mir ja jemand aus dem Dunkeln heraus helfen. :-)
Bis dann,
Martin

M'acabo d'adonar que si endollo la quickcam directament a un dels USBs
del portatil si que funciona, en canvi si l'endollo al concentrador
d'USB on hi tinc tots els altres disposotius és quan no funciona.

No entenc massa què passa, perque tot lo altre que  tinc connectat al
concentrador USB funciona perfectament.

He fet una prova amb un altre PC i la quickcam funciona bé on vulgui que
la connecti, en canvi amb el portàtil no hi ha manera. M'he repassat el
Kernel i no veig difernències amb els dos equips.

Algu se li acut alguna cosa?

Kernel y Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000

2004-03-08 Thread Aurelio Díaz-Ufano

Hola a [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

He conseguido una webcam Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 y la quiero 
configurar en mi woody. Mi kernel es el 2.4.18-bf24 de la instalación. 
Mi pregunta es sobre la versión del kernel a compilar. En woody sólo hay 
hasta la 2.4.19. Me baje las fuentes del kernel 2.6.3 Lo compilé pero me 
quedé sin tarjeta de red, tuve problemas con la tarjeta de sonido y la 
webcam seguía sin funcionar. ¿Alguien tiene ésta cámara para 
recomendarme cómo configurarla? ¿Hay alguna manera de exportar la 
configuración de mi actual kernel para importarla en el nuevo y sólo 
añadir los módulos de la cámara?


Gracias

 IANAMOKC (I am not a master of kernel compiling), but I believe that

I think you need the videodev module as well.

IANAMOKC (I am not a master of kernel compiling), but I believe that
you also need one of the following modules: usb-ohci, usb-uhci or
ehci-hcd. You can find out which of the module you need, by writing
the following (as root)

lspci -vv | grep USB

Alternatively you can look at the specifications of the USB-port of
your computer (It will mention one of the words UHCI, OHCI or EHCI).

By the way, there has been several reports of people having problems
using pwc with OHCI ports. Search google for further information.

Could be a permissions issue. What are the owner/group and permissions
settings on your /dev/video0? It should be

crw-rw1 root video 81,   0 Dec  8 20:26 /dev/video0

...and your user should be a member of group video.

Chances are you'll also need a /dev/video which is a symlink to /dev/video0
as some apps look at /dev/video by default.

Is there a way to automatically load PWCX after the PWC module?

Yes, there is! John Rodkey sent me a tip; add this to your
/etc/modules.conf:

post-install pwc /sbin/insmod --force /lib/modules/usb/pwcx-i386.o
/dev/null 21  || :

You may of course have to change the path to the pwcx module, depending on
your setup. Now everytime pwc is loaded (either by modprobe or the kerneld),
pwcx will loaded too. You will need the --force option because the pwcx
kernel version will probably not match yours. And oh, since pwcx is kernel
independant, you should indeed install it in /lib/modules/usb, instead of
/lib/modules/kernel-version/kernel/drivers/usb.

 place dans /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o

Moi je l'aurais mis dans /lib/modules/2.4.19/usb/pwcx.o mais ça doit pas être 
ça qui est à l'origine du pb ...

Evidemment sur le site ils disent this directory is specifically set up for 
kernel-independant/external modules mais je ne connaissais pas cette norme 
(qui me semble dangereuse ...)

 depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o
 
 ou est-le probleme ?

Problème de dépendance de librairies. Mais le site précise dans la FAQ :

If you can't load pwcx.o because of these messages:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/usb/pwcx.o
depmod: pwc_unregister_decompressor
depmod: pwc_register_decompressor
depmod: printk

then you have a kernel with version information on module symbols turned on. 
Recompile and/or install a kernel with this option turned off. And yes, that is 
the only way.

C'est pas mal comme principe d'avoir un module kernel independant qui oblige 
à désactiver des options du noyau.

 dois-je contacter l'auteur du module ?

Ben non, il va te dire qu'il te suffit de recompiler ton noyo sans savoir 
pourquoi ni même si désactiver cette option va pas faire planter d'autres trucs 
(il me semble que Alsa en a besoin et que OSS aussi. En tout cas ça 
m'étonnerais que ce ne soit que décoratif ...).

De toute façon t'auras jamais le code because of an NDA (Non Disclosure 
Agreement) that *I* signed with Philips B.V ... 

Pourquoi ne pourraient-ils pas arranger leur code pour avoir une partie _libre_ 
et opensource (genre pour faire la liaison USB et tous les trucs chiants liés 
au kernel) et une partie de décodage/traitement qu'ils pourraient légitimement 
garder secret et donc ne diffuser que sous forme compilée ?

c'est encore moi !

j'ai testé quelques autres programmes :

xawtv fonctionne une fois sur deux, il m'affiche les messages d'erreurs
suivants :
ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=7): Argument
invalide


hasciicam ne fonctionne pas, il me renvoit une serie d'erreur :
ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE: Invalid argument

w3cam avec son utilitaire vidcat utilisé comme ca :
vidcat -d /dev/video0 -s 640x480 -f jpeg  ~/essai.jpeg

ne fonctionne pas
il me renvoit la meme erreur que hasciicam

pour charger le module, j'ai mis :
modprobe pwc size=cif fps=30 power_save=1

cif correspond au 640*480

si vous avez une idée ! a moins que cela vienne des drivers

I'm using one with mod_quickcam.o and camE to run a webcam; you can
see the images at http://genehack.com/images/webcam.jpg (it updates
every minute). There are images with white balance, due to the fact
that the camera faces a large window; it doesn't seem to deal with
adjusting to the different amounts of background light very
well. Other than that, the colors are fine. I did have to modify the
camE config file to remove the color balance correction it was trying
to do; with the default values, I got snaps that were heavily
green-biased.

I also get the band of noise at the bottom of the xawtv screen, but I
think that's just because xawv opens the camera window with the wrong
size. Resizing to what the camera puts out makes that band go away.

I've been using mine on a 2.4.17 kernel for a few weeks now with no
problems. Just compile your kernel with Video4Linux and USB support, and
then get the appropriate drivers from http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net .

What about the colour of the images? Are you happy with them? Though the
image quality (sharpness) is better than that in the windoze, the
colour/brightness is not good. Under gqcam, whatever I do with the
controls, nothing affects the image :-(

Before downloading anything, I'd look into the pwc module, which is
already in 2.4.18.  Add in the hotplug scripts (which may or may not
be necessary), make the appropriate device nodes, and whetever else I
mention in my previous email, and it should work.

Ok here is my situation :
I successfully use a Quickcam pro 3000 using driver pwc i realized soon 
that the camera works but i am not able to get to the maximum resolution and 
everything was not quite allright... So i did some searching and found this: 
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
there i downloaded the pwcx module (8.1 here)
and just copyed it into my /lib/modules/mykerneldrivers/usb/
and loaded it with insmod -f pwcx-i386 (note it wont work using modprobe 
you need to force the module you will get unresolved symbols everytime you 
run a depmod -a but it will work anyway with insmod -f).
Now im happy running it well with good colours and all resolutions and 
framerates supported by the cam.
I have never tryed the quickcam stuff cause this method was not elegant but 
the result was what i wanted from it, it works fine with v4l too.
Hope it helped 
cheers
Florian

The color is a bit washed out for me, but it's no worse than it was in
Windows. I've been using xawtv so far and everything works fine. Image
capture, movie capture, etc, all work. The only annoying thing is a
colored band at the bottom of the screen. It doesn't show up in pictures
but it's there when I'm viewing realtime output from the cam.

Yes, I too geta green band at the bottom. But, when I press J for a jpeg
snapshot, half the image has a shade. The colour changes slightly in
that region which is a nuisance.
