Forgot to mention: this Logitech Orbicam is built-in to my laptop: an Acer Travelmate 6465WLMi (x86_64) running up-to-date F10 x86_64 I see this too, also with a Acer Travelmate integrated web cam. The USB device ID of mine is slightly different: 046d:0892 I'm running the 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 kernel and otherwise up-to-date i386 F10. I think 32-bit x86 platform should be added to this bug. FYI: on the Fedora 11 Preview (x86_64) updated to Rawhide the web cam works great in Cheese. Pictures and video's made with Cheese look fine and are no longer very dark and noisy. Since I'll be running F11 I won't follow up on this bug any more. This should also be fixed in the 2.6.29 kernel for fedora 10 which is in updates-testing now. I tested kernel-2.6.29.2-52.fc10.i686 on F10 and it's marginally better, but still does not work right. Colors are way off, the picture is heavily pixelated and it looks like it's one quarter (literally one corner) of the full picture. I suspect I may be suffering from a different bug. The picture is not just dark and noisy, but it seems like the driver is reading the pixels from the device wrong. As I wrote earlier, the device is different (046d:0892) from the one in the original report. Update: I can now get a picture that looks about right using cheese on F11. I have kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686 cheese-2.26.3-1.fc11.i586 (Orbicam 046d:0892 in an Acer Travelmate,as before) There are still horizontal streaks in the picture from time to time and some problems with skipping frames, but at least it looks like the all of the image is shown and the colour and brightness are ok. Skype still does not work; in there, the picture is all green and looks like one-quarter of the full frame. I have skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586. So there seems to be some problem with skype in addition to the cam driver. In today's Rawhide the picture is still dark, noisy and grainy. Please let me know if you need more information or would like me to test something. Thanks! More information: from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc.

Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Now on F13 I get with my Orbicam 046d:0892 in an Acer Travelmate and kernel-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686 cheese-2.30.1-1.fc13.i686 video that seems to loop over a few frames, giving a very disorienting jerking effect. The picture has horizontal streaks constantly. The colors and lightness seem to be about right, though. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
