Sony Vaio Motion Eye
Hi everyone,
I am having difficulties configuring my webcam on my Sony VGN-FW580J (running Arch linux). lsusb shows the device Code:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ca:183d Ricoh Co., Ltd Sony Vaio Integrated Webcam Thank you in advance! |
Ricoh cams need their own driver
|
Well a quick google search seems to confirm that only uvcvideo *should* be required. Could you please show me what you are referring to (only drivers for ricoh I can find are ahixon and r5u87x,which is where it says that they are now obsolete).
Here is output of "dmesg | grep uvc" Code:
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:183d) |
open a terminal type gstreamer-properties click enter
click video try v4l and v4l2 use the bottom test button for each 1 you may need to change the plugin auto find see if the cam comes on |
Thanks for your response. Don't have gstreamer-properties/gnome installed though. Anything else I can use?
|
cheese uses gstreamer
so im at a loss |
But I don't have cheese installed... I want to use skype.
