Hello,

I don't know is this the right forum to this question, so please
advise me to right place if this is wrong place.

I have Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xg camera that has webcam support. Camera
is connected to PC via USB. Unfortunately there is only windows
drivers available to support this feature. The manufacturer has ceased
camera production and support, so I guess there never will be a driver
for Linux.

So I decided to try to make my own driver. I'm a software developer
but I'm kind of newbie on Linux programming albeit I have basic
knowledge of C language and *nix tools. So this is kind of learning
process at the same time.

I have browsed kernel/module and usb howtos on the net and I'm
currently reading "Linux Device Drivers" book from oreilly. I have
made simple examples, but now I eagerly wan't to get something useful.

So where I can start to examine how this webcam feature works? Do I
have to do some kind ofreverse engineering to resolve the used
protocol? What tools are available for that?
