[pwc] PWC problems on Mandrake linux 10.1

[Surjit Bains <>]

Hi,

I followed the instructions for installing the pwc driver module (replacing old pwc etc)


and I can see the driver loaded via lsmod

I don't seem able to get above the 320x240 limit and can't pan or tilt ( camera is a logitech sphere)

here is the output from  Orbitview and dmesg

./OrbitView -?
