WebCam - SPCA50x drivers

[brunobf]

Hmm...

When using an INTEL-CAM, the author of the driver suggests you use an aditional parameter usbgrabber=1 (if it has a id 0x733:0x430). Did you try doing that ?

Well, in any case, I'm posting my latest binaries here if anyone wants to try them. There are 2 modules, the regular usbvideo.o, and spca.o which has both spca5xx and spcadecoder modules together. The driver does include debugging, and spits a lot of stuff into syslog.

cheers

Wouldn't it be an idea to make the "supported" cameras work instead of adding new devices? I.e. the Logitech Quickcam 4000 does not work in security mode (as many users have posted) and is even bundled with the router!

Well, for starters, it would be impossible to me to actually make that happen, audiophil, since I don't own one of those. And so you'll reach the most obvious conclusion, which I'll leave up for you...

I had found also, another driver which claimed to support Sonix cameras. But it required a 2.6 kernel. I'm gonna take a look at to see if it's easy to recode it into the 2.4 tree.
