Hi all
I think it would be agood time now to get my Logitech QuickCam Messenger
camera working with the current gspca driver. It used to work with
gspcav1-20071224, here's dmesg output:
/tmp/gspcav1-20071224/gspca_core.c: USB GSPCA camera found.(ZC3XX)
/tmp/gspcav1-20071224/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_probe:4275] Camera type JPEG
/tmp/gspcav1-20071224/Vimicro/zc3xx.h: [zc3xx_config:669] Find Sensor HV7131R(c)
with more USB related messages following. Now dmesg with some debug turned
on looks like
gspca: probing 046d:08da
zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000
zc3xx: probe sensor -> 11
zc3xx: Find Sensor HV7131R(c)
gspca: probe ok
usbcore: registered new interface driver zc3xx
zc3xx: registered
and the camera is not working, the light on its case doesn't go on. If I
try "force_sensor=15" to match sensor tas5130cxx, as was detected by the
old driver, dmesg reports
gspca: probing 046d:08da
zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000
zc3xx: probe sensor -> 11
zc3xx: sensor forced to 15
gspca: probe ok
usbcore: registered new interface driver zc3xx
zc3xx: registered
and otherwise nothing changes. I could spend some time trying to find the
problem, but I would prefer if someone could suggest some debugging, I am
not familiar with gspca internals. Ideas anyone?
Thanks
Guennadi

First of all, which app are you using to test the cam ? And are you using that
app in combination with libv4l ?
Also why do you say the original driver used to identify it as a tas5130cxx,
the dmesg lines you pasted from gspcav1 also say it is a HV7131R
Regards,
Hans

xawtv, no, it doesn't use libv4l, but it works with the old
gspcav1-20071224. Ok, maybe it used a different v4l version, but I have
v4l1_compat loaded.

In the old sources you see
switch (vendor) {
...
case 0x046d: /* Logitech Labtec */
...
switch (product) {
...
case 0x08da:
spca50x->desc = QCmessenger;
spca50x->bridge = BRIDGE_ZC3XX;
spca50x->sensor = SENSOR_TAS5130CXX;
break;
Thanks

xawtv has known bugs making it not work with gspca (or many other
properly implemented v4l drivers that is). Now those bugs are fixed in
some distro's but this might very well be the cause. Try using ekiga
(together with LD_PRELOAD=..../v4l1compat.so)

Hmm, weird it still prints that other message then. Anyways please
try with another application both with and without the force_sensor
parameter.

Hans
p.s.
I've attached a patch to xawtv which I use in Fedora's packages.

Coooooool! Loading the driver without parameters and using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="v4l2-apps/libv4l/libv4l1/:v4l2-apps/libv4l/libv4l2/:v4l2-apps/libv4l/libv4lconvert/" \
LD_PRELOAD=v4l2-apps/libv4l/libv4l1/v4l1compat.so mplayer tv:// -tv \
driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0 -vo x11
started the video! Thanks a million, Hans!
Cheers
Guennadi
