Hello people!

Can someone help me please, Im trying to install the cheap-a$$ tesco webcam on my laptop, Dell D530. From dmesg I get:

Quote:

usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
gspca: probing 093a:2468
pac207: Pixart Sensor ID 0x27 Chips ID 0x08
pac207: Pixart PAC207BCA Image Processor and Control Chip detected (vid/pid 0x093A:0x2468)
gspca: probe ok

In camorama, with the -R option, I can get a bad picture - its skewed to the side and there are multiple instances of the same picture next to each other...

Also, I tried connecting a Tevion webcam, and though the nessesary driver in theory is included in the kernal... or so i read, it also doesnt work. In skyp, both cams just give me a green screen.

cam2 dmesg

usb 4-2: Initialization succeeded
usb 4-2: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video0
usb 4-2: Optional device control through 'sysfs' interface disabled

Is there anyway to enable sysfs control maybe?

Thank you people

Bump...

Can anyone please shed some light on this? Particularly the tevion cam actually.... Skype pics it up (camorama does not), but either way, its a green screen. :(
