Hi, lately I've been playing around trying to get my firewire camera to work in linux. The camera is supported by libdc1394. As far as I can tell it is fully IIDC complient so it should work with Coriander. However, when I run coriander, I get the following error in a dialog box:
"Warning: could not find a Digital Camera on the bus.
Please check that:
- the cables are properly set
- the devices on the bus are properly powered
- your camera is compliant with the Digital Camera specs
(see
http://www.1394ta.org)."
and at the same time I get the error message:
"Libdc1394 error (dc1394_control.c:dc1394_get_camera_info:421): Tagged register not found : Could not get model name leaf offset"
from the command line.
The camera shows up in gscanbus, but the power light on top of it never turns out (though I do hear it zero the focus when I plug it in. I have used firewire disks through that port and they have worked fine. I have the modules ieee1394, raw1394, video1394, and ohci1394 loaded. I am running a 2.6.12 kernel under a Gentoo Linux distribution.
Any ideas what I could try? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find any information to get it to work. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
