[Bug 293259] Re: Webcam (gspca) is not detected anymore since ubuntu 8.10 and Kernel 2.6.27

I disagree that this bug is a duplicate of Bug #260918. This bug is about how 
some drivers in gspca driver, like zc3xx, that were blocked by non-gspca 
drivers, in this case zc0301. Another non-gspca driver like sn9c102 is also 
preventing the gspca driver to load. For more information:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11920

blacklisting is not enough since gspca has been built into the Kernel,
but it has to be recompiled as described in my comments above. After all
that the webcam is finally detected by the gspca driver. In case of Bug
#260918, there is no problem with a webcam not being detected. The
webcams are detected, but provided a distorted picture.

In my case I also got a distorted picture and had to apply
v4l1compat.so, but only after I recompiled the driver and my webcam was
detected. Those two bugs are completely separate. Again see the kernel
bugzilla entry.

[Bug 260918] Re: needed: libv4l and associated application patches (or gspca stopped working in 2.6.27)

2008-11-08 Thread yasou
Fabian, the bug you have is not entirely based on the libv4l issue. First of 
all you have to get rid of zc0301 to be able to use gspca_zc3xx, and then apply 
LD_PRELOAD=v4
it is not enough to blacklist, you have to compile a new version of gspca

see here for a complete solution:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293259

so in addition to the problem with having to preload the v4l1-compat library 
for some cameras that might use zc0301, sn9c102 or other non-gspca drivers, the 
webcam drivers must be recompiled. Look here for a more professional
