Hi, I confirm that the pwc driver works well. Only at boot time, I have the following messages: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Linux video capture interface: v1.00 pwc: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_release pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_release pwc Philips webcam module version 10.0.6-unofficial loaded.pwc Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840. pwc Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech Quickcams, Samsung MPC-C10 and MPC-C30, pwc the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye and Visionite VCS-UC300 andVCS-UM100.
pwc Trace options: 0x00a1 but without any practical consequence, gnomemeeting works like a charm (Debian Kernel image 2.6.10-1-k7). So I welcome pwc! Eric sean finney wrote:
i've been using this new pwc driver for a while now and have not hadany problems with it, tested on i386 and amd64 boxen.so, after looking over the latest version, assuming there are no new issues i'll plan on uploading the pwc-source package to unstable. i don't think this really warrants a cool off period in experimental, but if someone has a reasonable objection then i will put it there instead. i'll probably do this on saturday. quoth teemu:Since this package claims to be GPL (although there might be issues with the reverse engineering which this code is based on) is there any reason not to integrate this code into the kernel-source package and have the pwc.ko module compiled automatically to kernel-packages? The kernel-package-2.6.10-1-686 package already contains several usb-webcam drivers in the /drivers/usb/media/ directory which are approximately the same size as pwc.ko.i suppose it could be added to the debianized kernel source package, but since the original author asked to have it yanked from the mainline kernel and it is now itself forked and maintained outside of the kernel, i think this approach makes the most sense. at least for the time being.sean --
