To test you need the latest libv4l, and my gspca tree: First update libv4l, do: git clone git://linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git cd v4l-utils/lib And then follow the instructions here: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7622.html Then get my gspca tree, and compile and install it, note that this is based on the special hg v4l-dvb tree, which is meant as an overlay to your running kernel, so doing this will replace the v4l and dvb subsystems of your kernel while leaving the rest as is: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/ibmcam cd ibmcam make menuconfig make sudo make install Now after the reboot do the following as root: echo 63 > /sys/module/gspca_main/parameters/debug And then try using your camera with a v4l app such as cheese, camorama or some such. Please collect the output of dmesg and mail it to me. Also please try running at a resolution of 176x144. If things don't work (chances are they won't) please try to describe what exactly is the problem. ie is the image shifted left / right / up / down with some garbage or black area being shown on the other side, is there no image at all is it to dark / light, are the colors wrong etc. Thanks & Regards, Hans
