Hi,

I sent the follwing text several times but NEVER got an answer. Perhaps
this is not the right forum ?!?

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MESSY LOGITECH
CAM ? ANYBODY WILLING TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER ??

This will be definitely my last attempt,

Regards, Michael

--OLD MESSAGE---------------------------------------------------

Hi Luc,

I followed Your proposal to change pwc-if.c in the tar ball
pwc-v4l2-20060106-042701.tar.bz2.tar (all 0x8b1 substituted by 0x8ae).
The whole thing compiled smoothly and 'make install' 'depmod'ed the
driver (of course after the removal of the old driver !).

------------------------------------
A part of the contents of /var/log/messages after reboot and applying
the 'modprobe pwc' command shows the following :

Exiting
------------------------------------

After attaching the Wecam to an USB port I started the 'xawtv' program
what resulted in a lot of error messages (more error messages can be
seen in the messages file above !!)):

------------------------------------
:~> xawtv
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.13-15-default)
can't open /dev/video0: Broken pipe
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Broken pipe
v4l2: open /dev/video0: Broken pipe
v4l: open /dev/video0: Broken pipe
no video grabber device available

------------------------------------

Maybe You can draw some conclusions from this ?!?! To support You a bit
I attached the output of the 'lsusb -v -v' command :
