Easycap
Hi,
I bought some easycap products a while back: http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyCAP-4cha...ref=pd_cp_ce_2 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weatheproof-..._bxgy_ce_img_b Today i'm intend to get them working with linux (Fedora10). Last time I tried I had trouble compiling the driver, so i'm starting this thread to document my progress and in attempt to gain some helpful advice. |

I read here
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux...m-113733.shtml that kernel Linux Kernel 2.6.30 as support for: Easy Cap Capture DC-60 support So I bought a EasyCap USB2.0 Video Adapter DC60 Plugged it in and all I get is: lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc.

Cheese works with my philuips webcam on /dev/video0 and have tried /dev/video1 but it sees nothing. |
Quote:
You might find it more helpful to view the dmesg text. Boot your computer without connecting your Easycap. As root, type dmesg -c to clear the buffer, then connect your USB Easycap device. Type dmesg, all of what you see should be from the Easycap device. |
Solution:
Code:
jilldando:/opt/syntekdriver# svn co https://syntekdriver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/syntekdriver/trunk/driver /opt/syntekdriver When I restart the PC I have to redo the insmod and modprobe 1) Is there a correct way / place to make sure this is done on boot? 2) Whenever there is a kernel update I have to repeat the whole process of ensuring the headers are installed for the new kernel and do the whole make thing again. Is there a way to: 2a) Automate that the Kernel headers are automatically included when a new kernel is added? 2b) Detect a new kernel and headers have been installed and fire off the making of the driver? |
