Description:
gspca_ov519 kernal module fails to report fps and resolution in luvcview.
Webacm output in cheese, ekiga and skype is completely green.

output from livcview -L :

[sean@myhost ~]$ /usr/local/bin/luvcview -L
luvcview version 0.2.1
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0
{ pixelformat = 'JPEG', description = 'JPEG' }

it should be similar to this :

]$ luvcview -L
luvcview version 0.2.1
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
video /dev/video0
/dev/video0 does not support read i/o
{ pixelformat = 'YUYV', description = 'YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)' }
{ discrete: width = 640, height = 480 }
Time interval between frame: 1/30, 1/20, 1/15, 1/10, 1/5,
{ discrete: width = 352, height = 288 }
Time interval between frame: 1/30, 1/20, 1/15, 1/10, 1/5,
{ discrete: width = 320, height = 240 }

Additional info:
* package version(s) kernal 2.6.28.(???) sorry the kernal probably updated a few times since I last successfully used the webcam.
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Plug in a creative webcam : Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:405f Creative Technology, Ltd
then run luvcview -L or run cheese, ekiga or skype to see the green screen
This task depends upon

Similar symptoms here, but different hardware, using gspca_vc032x module (sorry I don't mean to hijack this bug report...).

webcam: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc.
kernel: Linux acer9814 2.6.28-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 8 10:55:58 CET 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Where is this module from? The kernel?
Comment by brazzmonkey (brazzmonkey) - Wednesday, 11 March 2009, 20:27 GMT
Yes, as gspca is now part of the kernel.

status with .29 kernel?

I just tried the webcam with the 2.9 kernal and it worked flawlessly with cheese and skype.

The driver still doesnt seem to report it's resolution through luvcview however as it now works fine, I don't have a problem with that.
