Webcam OmniVision Technologies, Inc. problem...

[dracula1985]

Hello.

I have a Trust 320 Spacecam Webcam.

Code: Select all

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 05a9:8519 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

I loaded this modules (part of lsmod output):

Code: Select all

w9968cf                71008  0
ovcamchip              21768  0
ov511                  74192  0

USB support and V4L1 support are built-in in the kernel.

I also emerged x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l.

But /dev/v4l still don't exist

Code: Select all

dracula linux # ls /dev/v*
/dev/vcs   /dev/vcs3  /dev/vcs6  /dev/vcsa1  /dev/vcsa4  /dev/vcsa7
/dev/vcs1  /dev/vcs4  /dev/vcs7  /dev/vcsa2  /dev/vcsa5  /dev/vhci
/dev/vcs2  /dev/vcs5  /dev/vcsa  /dev/vcsa3  /dev/vcsa6

/dev/video1394:
0  1

The kernel don't auto load the webcam modules and after boot dmesg don't talk about ov511 or ovcamchip.

What I have to do to make this webcam work?

dracula1985,

You need the ov51x driver for your cam not the ov511 in the kernel, which is what you appear to have loaded.
I don't see an ebuild for it so you have to do it the hard way. Get the tarball, untar it and follow the readme inside the tarball.

In this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-48 ... ov511.html I red that the ovcamchip module is an improvement of ov51x modules, if it's right I can work with the ovcamchip module...
But reading what you wrote I understand that what I red wasn't right...

dracula1985,

I looked up

Code: Select all

05a9 +8519 +usb +linux

in Google and it lead me to the ov51x site.
You can find the drivers for most USB devices this way.

[dracula1985]

I already know, in fact I tryed to compile ov51x, but it won't compile under kernel 2.6.18, I search in google if somebody wrote a patch, but I found only other people having the same problem...

It look like a "simple" MODULE_PARM declaration problem, like the r1000 module, but I can't solve this...

I see the ov51x project is stopped since September 2005...

Can I start using this webcam as a room ornament?

[Parasietje]

I'm interested too. If I must, I'm going to downgrade to 2.6.17 to get the camera working again. I hope the module maintainer comes out of hibernation and fixes the problem

Parasietje, dracula1985

The ov511 driver (in the kernel was forked to be ov51x, which is not in the kernel.
Its not in portage either so you need to make it the manual way

[GuntherDW]

it apears some brave souls took up the task of modifying the source code and making it compile with kernels above 2.6.17
