Hi all,

On my webcam screen, I get a 7 color picture (moving) like the one showed in this picture http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/128467/2/istockphoto_128467_color_tv_bars_non_signal.jpg as if there is no signal. The same is appearing for camorama, mplayer, cheese, xawtv, skype. I have tried it with all possible LD_PRELOAD combinations that are given in gentoo webcam howto. My user is in group video and usb.

My lsusb output for webcam is:

Code:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0408:03f1 Quanta Computer, Inc.


usbview (gui) shows output for webcam as:

Code:
HP Webcam
Manufacturer: SN001
Speed: 480Mb/s (high)
USB Version:  2.00
Device Class: ef(misc )
Device Subclass: 02
Device Protocol: 01
Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 64
Number of Configurations: 1
Vendor Id: 0408
Product Id: 03f1
Revision Number:  1.04


dmesg shows webcam relevant output as:

Code:
[    0.840846] gspca: main v2.8.0 registered
[    0.841199] usbcore: registered new interface driver hdpvr
[    0.841570] vivi-000: V4L2 device registered as video0


I don't know what's wrong? Any ideas? I have installed media-libs/libv4l also.
