Just before I was about to check the webcam with Ubuntu I tried it on anot=
her=20
computer... and it worked. =20
To make sure: I copied across the debug build of webcam and it worked with=
=20
that as well. It certainly is not the software on the webcamd side. cuse4=
bsd=20
is the same on both computers. Both systems are running different custom=20
kernels but contain the same usb devices (the same as GENERIC). =20
On the computer that works `pwcview -s vga` does not work. I expect that t=
o=20
be a limitation of the device. =20
On the other computer, I tried every USB port and none of them work. The U=
SB=20
controllers are:
ohci0@pci0:0:11:0: class=3D0x0c0310 card=3D0x50041458 chip=3D0x026d10d=
e=20
rev=3D0xa3 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device =3D 'MCP51 USB Controller'
class =3D serial bus
subclass =3D USB
ehci0@pci0:0:11:1: class=3D0x0c0320 card=3D0x50041458 chip=3D0x026e10d=
e=20
rev=3D0xa3 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device =3D 'MCP51 USB Controller'
class =3D serial bus
subclass =3D USB
The USB ports do work for umass, u3g and umodem devices. Will the kernel=20
version have an impact, should I upgrade to head?
The webcam works with Ubuntu on both computers. =20
