Hi Sebastian,
I know you mentioned you didn't see anything strange in dmesg, but could you attach it anyways for our developers to review just in case. Also, can you comment which was the most recent kernel version where this was working? Thanks. |

dmesg:
[166799.908016] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[166800.072374] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I just tried 2.6.27-1.2 and it did not work either. Previous versions of the 2.6.27 package did not contain this driver, at least according to changelog. So the last working release would be the last 2.6.26 package.
When I tried compiling a version from 2.6.26 in 2.6.27 it gave the following error:
/home/sebastian/Desktop/ubuntu-intrepid/qc-driver.c:3001: error: unknown field ‘type’ specified in initializer
The code in the according line is:
type: VID_TYPE_CAPTURE | VID_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE,
Later versions of the driver have that line removed (probably because of changes in v4l), but it seems that at least gstreamer and ekiga depend on it. So I guess it is more a general v4l problem than a driver specific one. |

I don't have Intrepid anymore, but only Jaunty and its kernel currently does not ship the quickcam driver. But I'm quite sure the current behaviour in the driver is broken, as it assigns the wrong kind of type to the b.type variable. When I wrote the patch I also found why it worked before (even though it was wrong) and which change caused it to stop working, but I can't remember that right now and I don't have the time to look it up again.
So I don't think all that info is actually needed, since it should be already know what is wrong and how to fix it, but if you really need all that info please change again to incomplete. |
