zc3xx webcam (041e:4034 Creative Webcam Instant) stopped working some time ago (since gspca kernel integration?)

[Timo Paulssen <timo@wakelift.de>]

Hello,

I recently tried using my webcam, the Creative Webcam Instant (usb ID
041e:4034) again, but I can't get it to work any more.

When I started using this webcam, i could get it to work with the
spca5xx driver, which I usually compiled per hand and inserted into the
kernel. Then came gspcav1, which worked, too. But with the gspca, that
is integrated in the kernel now (I'm using 2.6.27.9 retrieved from
kernel.org) the webcam won't work.

The first symptom is, that spcaview won't start any more and camstream
spits out these lines while showing a black window at the size i requested:


W: run(): VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument)
W: VDLinux::run() VIDIOCMCAPTURE failed (Invalid argument)


similarly, spcaview tells me:


cvsync err
: Invalid argument
cmcapture: Invalid argument
>>cmcapture err -1
cvsync err
: Invalid argument


and then segfaults.

More interestingly, spcaview now complains, that my camera is "Not an
Spca5xx Camera !!".

Any help on how to get the camera working again would be very appreciated :)

Thanks for all the hard and good work,

  - Timo
