Newbie - want to hep and get driver :)
dda
I have two cameras based on Microdia: 0c45:602e (Genius Videocam
messenger) and 0c45:6007 (Genuis Videocam Eye). Both works with gspca,
but image is very dark. 0c45:602e also works with sn9c102, while
0c45:6007 does not (with sn9c102 v 1.44 camorama says
"usb_submit_urb() failed, error -28" in dmesg, and with version 1.48
computer hangs when I plug in the camera). And with sn9c102 also dark
image, and brightness control does not work as well.
So, my question: is there anything I can test on my webcams? My
systems are Ubuntu 7.04 32 bit and 7.10 64 bit. I will be glad to help
with testing or anything else I can do. :)
Thanks!
Dmitry.

Was my question noticed? Sorry for being impatient...
Thanks!

so.. welcome ;-)
I am not so familiar with gspca (my last try to make it work for my cam
went wrong) but we are actually developing a new driver especially for
sn9c-cams. You will have to help us with data on your webcams. most
things are explained on the group-pages:
http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web
Everything else may be asked on the mailing list.
I don't know if there are any other people with your camera here but
somewhere on the pages is a list of all cams.
BTW the dark image on gspca is a known bug, several people mentioned the
problem - hopefully we'll be able to fix it in our driver ;-)

looks like your whitebalance settings are not proper in gspca,
you can try reverse engineering from windows driver & adding that to
gspca or microdia driver.(gspca would probably be easier)
basically the difference between sniffUSB logs & usbmon logs will give
you whats is missing/mismatching.
take a look here

sorry we couldn't reply sooner, we don't mind you asking again.

Thanks all for replying. I will definitely compare sniffUSB logs &
usbmon logs and get bak to you. But I had a hope to try something
already built -- do I understand right that my cameras are not
supported by microdia driver? Where it is anyway, I did not find
anything on the web pages (https://groups.google.com/group/microdia/
web)
Regards,
Dmitry.

the current source is here:
http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git
File microdia-dev.c contains all webcam specific functions. If there are
functions like microdia_6007_init() in this file then there is already
someone working on supprt for this cam (in tis case 0c45:6007).
Nvertheless - to find out what's really going (for example what sets the
whitebalance) on we need to compare logs and things lke that - so make
yourself familiar with everything and you ca be pretty sure there will
be support for your cam.
BTW there are full datasheets for the sn9c102 chip out there - simply
google "sn9c102 filtype:pdf".
