 |
|
Hi. I've been trying to setup my webcam for hours now, but with no success. Before going into the problem, here are my setup:
I have a Sager NP9262 laptop, which has a BisonCam NB Pro inside.
lsusb :
| Code: | | Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller |
dmesg:
| Code: | Linux video capture interface: v2.00
m5602: ALi m5602 webcam driver startup
usbcore: registered new interface driver m5602
usb 2-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
usb 2-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
m5602: BisonCam webcam found
|
Each time I use an app (such as xawtv), I get this in dmesg:
| Code: |
m5602: BisonCam on /dev/video0 opened
m5602: BisonCam on /dev/video0 closed
|
Now what is m5602? It's the driver I downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/m560x-driver/ .
I found it while reading this: http://linuxlaptopwiki.net/wiki/ALi_Corp_M5602
The error I get when trying to use xawtv, mplayer or v4l-conf:
| Code: |
WARNING: Your X-Server has no DGA support.
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support |
I also tried: cat /dev/video > test.mpg , and I get the "Invalid argument" error.
I'm using linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r2 kernel, and here are my config option reguarding video:
| Code: | CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_ALLOW_V4L1=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y
# CONFIG_DVB_CORE is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_MEDIA=m
CONFIG_V4L_USB_DRIVERS=y
|
I also have all the USB options enabled (for my mouse, keyboard, and soundcard).
I'm out of ideas right now, so I'm posting here hoping someone could help fix this 
Thank you! |
