Hey all, trying to get a Logitech QC Notebook Pro running. I've been browsing the archives (a search feature would sure be nice, by the way), looking for relevant questions/topics/answers, but nothing is helping yet.

$ webcam
reading config file: /home/id/.webcamrc
ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=4): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=7): Invalid argument ioctl: VIDIOCMCAPTURE(frame=0;height=120;width=160;format=13): Invalid argument
v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems?
ioctl: VIDIOCSYNC(int=0): Interrupted system call
can't get rgb24 data


I've emerged the usb-pcw-re driver, but that hasn't helped.


Here's my lsmod output:

$ lsmod | grep pwc
pwc                    53244  0
videodev               11136  1 pwc
usbcore               127744  9 pwc,cdc_acm,sl811_hcd,(snipped)


v4l *is* installed on my 2.6.14-r4 kernel, and dmesg seems to load everything okay (no errors) when I plug the camera in:

$ dmesg | tail
usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 27
pwc Logitech QuickCam Notebook Pro USB webcam detected.
pwc Registered as /dev/video0.


When I try to run 'webcam', dmesg shows these new messages:

pwc Failed to set LED on/off time.
pwc type = 740
pwc type = 740
pwc set_video_mode(176x144 @ 10, palette 15).

pwc isoc_init() submit_urb 1 failed with error -38


My .webcamrc (if it matters) is:

[grab]
device = /dev/video0
text = "ian's webcam %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
fg_red = 255
fg_green = 255
fg_blue = 255
width = 160
height = 120
delay = 10
wait = 3
input = Webcam
norm = pal
rotate = 0
top = 0
left = 0
bottom = -1
right = -1
quality = 75
trigger = 180
once = 0

Any advice or hints would be most helpful, and very much appreciated.
