Bug Description
== Regression details ==
Discovered in version: linux-image-
Last known good version: linux-image-
I have a Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam
GSPCA-driver: gspca_zc3xx
the camera is detected when the zc0301 driver is loaded, but only with v4l2 and thus only with ekiga. (no v4l support in this driver) In Hardy 8.04 I just blacklisted zc0301 and gspca took over the cam automatically and cam worked flawlessly.
Since 8.10 the cam is not detected after blacklisting zc0301 anymore. Dmesg only gives me:
[29143.996060] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
[29144.197121] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
I think it is connected with the kernel 2.6.27, and I have found a similar bug at bugzilla.

Compiling the newest version of gspca using these instructions: http://
does not help immediately.
to solve this problem you have to simply uncheck the zc0301 driver when compiling gspca (see here for instructions: http://
The entry in the bugzilla kernel talks about the sn9c102 driver, that has to be removed, so it seems it applies to more than one model/type of webcams. For sn9c102 the driver has also to be removed when compiling gspca. In both cases it was enough to blacklist the drivers in Hardy.
