PC Line Camera (Pixart) in Debian Etch using gspca
Hi guys I have been trying to get this camera working for a while
In fact I have 3 cameras plugged in. Any one of them would be great to get working. From my lsusb below you can see the Microdia (Woolworths webcam) Pixart 093a:2600 (PC Line Webcam) Pixart 093a:2460 (PC Line Webcam) Please note that these webcams use different drivers in XP and so are a different chipset (I think). So far I have installed from source and from deb file #aptitude search gspca i gspca-modules-2.6-686 I also unloaded the gspca module and made alterations to a headerfile as suggested here : http://http://blog.janus.cx/archives/240-gspca_core.c-spca5xx_open1940-DEALLOC-error-on-spca50x_init_source-with-Trust-WB-1400T.html"]Janus' Blog #modprobe gspca # (nothing means no problems right?) #dmesg /tmp/buildd/linux-modules-extra-2.6-2.6.18/debian/build/build_i386_none_686_gspc a/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_open:1904] DEALLOC error on spca50x_init_source /tmp/buildd/linux-modules-extra-2.6-2.6.18/debian/build/build_i386_none_686_gspc a/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_open:1904] DEALLOC error on spca50x_init_source /tmp/buildd/linux-modules-extra-2.6-2.6.18/debian/build/build_i386_none_686_gspc a/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_open:1904] DEALLOC error on spca50x_init_source /tmp/buildd/linux-modules-extra-2.6-2.6.18/debian/build/build_i386_none_686_gspc a/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_open:1904] DEALLOC error on spca50x_init_source CCMP: replay detected: STA=00:18:f3:a9:8f:1d previous PN 000000000ce5 received P N 000000000ce5 #lsusb Bus 005 Device 005: ID 0c45:62bb Microdia Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 002: ID 093a:2600 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

My understanding of the fix in the link is for a different cam to yours which makes me think that is why you are getting those errors
2) http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=9 microdia not found b) http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3632 suggests the gspca module should work c) not found since you want any cam to work lets concentrate on (b) A) install a k from 2.6.28 series and k 2.6.26 series using your apt-get or package manager system. see my signature for smxi...it will be a lot easier for you I hope. b) pretending you have loaded either kernel...which means you not using the current mess.... next check your logs that when cam is inserted there are no errors and lsmod command should show all is good....in particular Code:
lsmod | grep usbcore Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install libv4l-0 |
Strewth!!
Thanks for the response, I have just used smxi, it was great!! I get the impression that a lot went on that I missed so I will take my time to digest that. Just wanted you to know that I have started on your suggestion. I need to go to work now will let you know how the camera goes later today. |
