The gspca webcam drivers work, at least for the Orbicam on my Acer 3012WTMi, at a basic level -- can get sensor output via v4l programs and mplayer, but no adjustment of sensor capture rate, brightness, colour, etc.
My camera reports a vendorID/productID of 046d:0896. This works with kernel 2.6.20, with a compiled gspca-source package. I recommend using the module-assistant program (aptitude install gspca- source, then run module-assistant and select gspca from the package list). You can test out the webcam with mplayer: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420 -vc rawi420 -vo xv More information on currently supported cameras here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html -- Support for important hardware components used in notebook computers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129463 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
