I would like to see the uvcvideo module added to the kernel for support of devices listed on berlios project home page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): uvcvideo-r104 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: I would like to see the uvcvideo.ko module added. Additional info:
It is too late for this to make 5.2. I'm moving it to 5.3. I have begun acquiring hardware to do development with.
Just wanted to point out. With the uvcvideo drivers I can get them to make and install under 5.1 kernel. But in the beta 5.2 kernel I get the following error. cwyse@buffalo [:~/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk] % make [11:01:23] Building USB Video Class driver... make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-86.el5-xen-x86_64' CC [M] /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_driver.o In file included from /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvcvideo.h:8, from /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_driver.c:45: /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_compat.h:205: error: redefinition of ‘usb_endpoint_dir_in’ include/linux/usb.h:474: error: previous definition of ‘usb_endpoint_dir_in’ was here /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_compat.h:210: error: redefinition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_int’ include/linux/usb.h:521: error: previous definition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_int’ was here /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_compat.h:216: error: redefinition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc’ include/linux/usb.h:534: error: previous definition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc’ was here /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_compat.h:222: error: redefinition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk’ include/linux/usb.h:496: error: previous definition of ‘usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk’ was here /home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_compat.h:228: error: redefinition of ‘usb_endpoint_is_int_in’ include/linux/usb.h:571: error: previous definition of ‘usb_endpoint_is_int_in’ was here make[2]: *** [/home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk/uvc_driver.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/cwyse/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-86.el5-xen-x86_64' make: *** [uvcvideo] Error 2 This could just be because 5.2 is still beta and this needs to be addressed, I'm trying to work with the uvcvideo team to figure that one out. Or there could just be a newer version of uvcvideo. I currently can not svn the new trunk from work as svn is blocked here. Just a heads up on what I have seen so far.
The ucvideo drivers have #ifs that depend on the kernel version, and don't take into account functionality Red Hat has backported into our RHEL-5 kernel (which still claims to be 2.6.18. After I amended the obvious #if in uvc_compat.h it compiled without error. Unfortunately, I can't test it until I get hardware.
in kernel-2.6.18-102.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: the uvcvideo drivers for USB video devices has been added to the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
