I bought a dirt cheap unbranded PCI USB card: 0a:00.0 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 50) 0a:00.1 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 50) 0a:00.2 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 51)
Connecting the camera to it gets me a 640x480 image with cheese and guvcview. Slightly odd: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:09a1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate MP/S5500 Is the camera really a USB 1.1 device? (I doubt it) So, the problem really is with the driver for Intel X79 series chipset USB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014749 Title: can't read uvcvideo (usb video / webcams) devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1014749/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
