gspca_pac207: Poor video quality of webcam Genius Eye 310

[vpodobaev]

Hello!
I have webcam Genius Eye 310.
The problem is that the video quality of this cam in Ubuntu Lucid is much worse than in Windows. Especially when there's low light in the room. When I use Skype from Windows - I see my webcam picture is self-adjusting even in low light and I get good picture. In Linux - there's no appropriate adjusting, and the image quality is very poor.
The driver of gspca_pac207 is used. Maybe this driver lacks some of cam-adjusting functionality?

Thank you!

Best regards, Vladimir

Hi vpodobaev,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
