Package: kernel

via: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109821 Despite of the existing patch (e.g. https://github.com/tiggerite/mint-17.3-for-surface-pro-3/blob/master/patches-4.3/surface-cam.patch), it seems some surface pro 4 model (E.g. my i7 16G) uses a different webcam solution. >From windows, there are three camera listed with "Camera" in their driver name. They are Microsoft Camera Front, Microsoft Camera Rear and Microsoft IR Camera Front. The properties dialogs show that they are OV5693, OV7251 and OV8865, seems they are i2c device instead of usb device.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
