With the kernel-2.6.27 on Fedora 10 (that include gspca driver) doesn't work.
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).
Created attachment 326472 [details] Patch fixing the frame overflow messages with vc0321 cams
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.
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!
