Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2008-12-10 09:18:42 UTC 
Hi Diego,

Thanks for reporting this. We've had reports from other users with the same cam which did not include the gspca: frame overflow dmesg messages, so I'm very glad you've reported this.

I've prepared a patch fixing this (hopefully).

Can you please follow the instructions here:
http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/6630.html

But before doing the "make" command in the list of commands there first do:
patch -p1 < [path-to]/gspca-vc0321-fix-frame-overflow.patch

Replacing [path-to] with the directory where you've saved the patch (which I will attach next). If the "patch" command is not found, you need to do:
yum install patch

If these instructions are over your head, please let me know, then we will do things differently (in a way which is more work for me, but easier for you).

Hi hans,
thank you for your help. I have follow your instructions, and now the webcam work fine. I receive only this message on dmesg command :

gspca: ISOC data error: [4] len=1024, status=-71

but the cam work.
Do you wont to insert the patch on the fedora kernel update, please? :-).

Good work, and thank you very much.

Diego.
Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2008-12-11 19:15:55 UTC 
Ok, I've put this patch in both the F-10 and devel branches of CVS, so with the first kernel build for either this will get included, closing.

And thanks for testing!
