Hi, my GE Minicam Pro (or Microdia ) webcam is not being detected in Ubuntu 9.04 but it is supported according to this page: http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html

This is "uname -a" output:

diegogac@diegogac-laptop:~$ uname -a
Linux diegogac-laptop 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

This is the "lsusb" output:

diegogac@diegogac-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0461:4d15 Primax Electronics, Ltd

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

As you can see the webcam is 0c45:60fe Microdia Audio (Microphone).

This is the "dmesg" output:

[ 324.651000] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 324.671759] sn9c102: V4L2 driver for SN9C1xx PC Camera Controllers v1:1.47pre49
[ 324.673986] usb 4-1: SN9C105 PC Camera Controller detected (vid:pid 0x0C45:0x60FE)
[ 324.801561] usb 4-1: No supported image sensor detected for this bridge
[ 324.801615] usbcore: registered new interface driver sn9c102

It is trying to use sn9c102 driver but it should be using gspca_sonixj driver.

I read a similar bug at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/293259 but I am not sure how to run "make menuconfig" for the driver proposed there is giving me errors.

Any idea about the solution? I know blacklisting sn9c102 does not work for ubuntu 9.04
Thanks!
Diego
