hi list,

i've been using PWC for a couple of years now, with a philips 730 camera,
without problems. my software supports PWC to get to the higher framerates.
however, since version 9 (still maintained by Nemosoft at that time) i ran
into a problem:

the first time a newer camera (like logitech quickcam pro 4000) was loaded
by the 9 driver, everything worked ok. after quitting the application and
restarting it, there was this strange pattern which i try to discribe as:

* black flash
* AGC trying to catch up again
* stable image

this pattern repeated with a period of about 5 seconds.

yesterday i found out that if i remove the ioctl to VIDIOCPWCRUSER everything
works like normal. so it seems this is a problem with PWC.

the problem is solved by either unpugging the camera, or unloading/reloading
the pwc module.

any idea what this could be?


( Luc, thanks for adopting PWC! )
