New subscriber to list.

[Brian Durant]

Hi,

I am a new subscriber to the list, but in reality, I only have one
issue that I would like to ask the list about. I have done a number of
searches and asked on various lists, with no solution.

I am trying to get the webcam on my Zepto Znote V11a netbook to work
with Cheese and Peppermint Ice. The netbook may possibly be a rebranded
Lengda M11A / Marasst X11A, but I am not sure. The specifications are
listed as "11,6" TFT (1366x768) WXGA BrightView with webcam"; I have no
specific information on the webcam, nor how it is connected, but I
assume it is a standard Intel graphics setup for Atom based netbooks. I
have been in contact with the company that sold me the computer and the
company reports, that other Zepto laptops use the following driver. I
will have to assume that this netbook also uses the following driver,
as I have no other information to go on:
<http://m560x-driver.sourceforge.net/>. I understand that Linux TV has
taken over development that will support webcams using this driver?
Basically, my question is whether there is a driver, how to obtain it
and how to get it working.

The most detailed information that I have on the things that I have
tried can be found in this thread
<http://peppermintos.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1274>

Thanks goes to the list in advance for any information they can provide.

Brian

Add the outputs of lsusb and dmesg to this so that people can better
understand the device.

Thanks
