Problems with microdia webcam

Problems with microdia webcam

[Peter Nabbefeld]

Hello!

I'm new to video4linux, and I've got a "0c45:624e Microdia" webcam. I've 
already installed the microdia driver from google newsgroup, /dev/v4l 
and /dev/video0 exist.

I've tried to use camorama, vidcat, xsane. Camorama freezes, vidcat with 
default size says "VIDIOCMCAPTURE: Resource temporarily unavailable". 
Calling vidcat with "vidcat -d /dev/video0 -s 640x480" seems at least to 
wait for picture data, but nothing happens. Xsane does detect my camera, 
but when I try to "scan", it also freezes. Seems, the apps are waiting 
for data, but no data arrives for some reason.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

Peter Nabbefeld



BTW: Are there any Java bindings for V4L? Then I could probably try to 
write my own hacks to find out what happens ...

Hi Peter

Your webcam is currently not supported by any free kernel driver.
