I don't know if the grabber is opening it in the wrong mode or what, but take a look at your syslog after about three minutes of activty. It's about 5 log entries per second. I think I'm going to hack the qcam driver to shut it up. > Sep 24 18:19:51 isdn-kukulies /kernel: qcam0: 1 timeouts during init > Sep 24 18:19:52 isdn-kukulies /kernel: qcam0: 6bpp unidirectional scan mode selected > Sep 24 18:20:23 isdn-kukulies last message repeated 31 times > Sep 24 18:22:24 isdn-kukulies last message repeated 113 times At least your machine picked up the repeat. > I would suggest an environment variable to set the > quickcam whitebalance to a fixed value. > From what I've read this value is a constant and > distinct value for every individual instance. > This would ease adjustment and confine it to two degrees of > freedom rather than three :-) I don't mind the whitebalance; it's sort of a softer brightness.
