Bug Description
I have a Vaio SZ650 with VGP-VCC7 webcam, supported by the R5u870 driver (http://
I think installing the latest kernel borked it, now I can't get webcam with any program, (cheese, xawtv, Skype, camorama) -. I have rebuilt ( 'make') and reinstalled ('make install') r5u870 just in case, but it makes no difference.
I can view a raw video stream (there I am! On the screen!) by running the following, so the driver still works:
]$ gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink
camorama tells me it "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)"
Skype cannot detect a webcam at all
cheese displays a test pattern
xawtv says this:
-------------
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.24-16-generic)
xinerama 0: 1280x800+0+0
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
