Description:
|
D-Link's VGA webcam.
Decent image in inside scenes during the daytime, a little over-exposure in sunlight and too dark at night, but really a cheap camera capable of 30 fps (realtime, no interpolation).
Get the ov511 driver from http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/
compile using make, install using make install (as root!)
***WARNING: It requires that /usr/src/linux points to your current kernel source! If you do not have it installed it will fail to compile and install.***
Once compiled and installed, you can add the lines
ov511
ovcamchip
to your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.x (x being 4 or 6)
--- One time only
to use without rebooting the machine to load the modules, as root type
modprobe ovcamchip
modprobe ov511
and you should be able to use it, either with xawtv or gnomemeeting.
The onboard microphone doesn't work yet, and I don't know when it will be supported.

Hi!
Actaully I have Kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 on my system, so I downloaded kernel source 2.6.11 from kernel.org and "tar -xvzf" it to /usr/src and created "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.11/ linux" and try to "make" the ov511 but it fails.
I even change the INCLUDEDIR on Makefile... so... I'm lost....
$ sudo make

Yeah, it's time to update those drivers. The alpha.dyndns.org driver doesn't work past 2.6.16 (for the experimental version!) and the kernel included one isn't much better.
Anyone know what's going on?
