Description Paul W. Frields 2008-11-21 00:39:34 UTC

kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 (official)
libv4l-0.5.5-1.fc11.x86_64 (from koji as previously instructed)

Webcam provides no video stream under this kernel.

* Also tried 'quirks=64' under -117 kernel, no good
* Out-of-band kernels provided by Hans de Goede (based off -120 and -122 kernels) did work properly with stock F10 libv4l-0.5.3

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

More information available upon request, willing to test.  The affected system must remain on F-10 after Rawhide splits to F-11.

Hans -- done, see bug 472468.  Thank you for your time and patience.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2008-11-21 12:02:45 UTC

Paul,

I think I know what the cause of your problem is. As the kernel update shows, this is really a kernel bug. But as quite a few people have similar cams (its a popular model) and as a kernel update is not likely to be released soon for F-10,
I've made a small change to libv4l to work around the issue (if it is what I think it is). I need to do a 0 day update for libv4l anyways to fix bug 472217

Can you please update to this libv4l:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=70523

And then test cheese with the normal F-10 kernel? Thanks!

Comment 3 Paul W. Frields 2008-11-21 12:55:59 UTC

Done, tested under stock F-10 kernel (-117).  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  I did get this warning:

(cheese:7564): GStreamer-AWARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are not a real subset of its template caps

However, gstreamer-properties does show a video stream as long as the source type 'v4l2' is selected.

What can I provide you to help?

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2008-11-21 19:43:43 UTC

Hmm, interesting, well the good news is that the uvcvideo fixes I've been doing in the kernel fix it. The bad news is I don't know why. The good news is the relevant kernel changes are scheduled to go into the first kernel update which will come out for F-10.

So thats 2-1 for the good guys :) All in all, the best I can do is close this as next release (next kernel update that is), in the mean time use the 2.6.27.5-120.bz472217.fc10 kernel, it is the same as the F-10 gold kernel, except that it contains an update to the latest upstream git (mercurial actually) for the uvcvideo driver + a patch by me to try and workaround 472217, which does not do anything on your cam as it is not from logitech.

Apparently the latest upstream contains a fix for your cam.
