Hi everybody !

i have an usb webcam "Hercules dualpix hd" which ID is 06f8:3003

I am under ubuntu linux Intrepid, kernel 2.6.27

When i plug my webcam it makes the little blue light on the webcam blink
and modprobes automatically the module "ov534" i installed using the
EasyCam2 project ( http://blognux.free.fr/?p=13 &
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=16670 sorry it's in French ).

i get this in the dmesg :

[  268.452160] usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 2

and this

fallen@laptop:~$ lsmod | grep ov
ov534                  27696  0
videodev               41344  1 ov534
compat_ioctl32          9344  1 ov534
videobuf_vmalloc       14852  1 ov534
videobuf_core          26628  2 ov534,videobuf_vmalloc
usbcore               148848  7
snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,ov534,ohci_hcd,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

fallen@laptop:~$ lsmod | grep v4l
v4l1_compat            22404  1 videodev

then i try using the webcam with vlc (with v4l or v4l2) and it doesn't
work, so i try gstreamer-properties and i click on "Video" and i test
each /dev/video* with v4l2 and it shows some strange green snow things
but it does make the little blue light switch on on the webcam

I have nothing more than that, am i doing something wrong ?

I tried modprobing v4l2-common but it doesn't change anything, same
thing with the module v4l2-int-device

ps : when i test my webcam using gstreamer-properties i get this in dmesg :
[  674.941551] ov534: open called (minor=0)

looking forward to hearing from you :)
