Hi,
I've trying to use my PCVC740K "ToUCam Pro" on linux
for a while without much success.
The kernel version is:
uname -a
Linux linux 2.6.13-15.8-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 7 11:07:24
UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I downloaded the lastest version (10.0.11) of pwc
driver from www.saillard.org site and followed build
instructions from
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16340.html
The driver seems to load ok; After the execution of
"modprobe pwc" dmesg returns this:
pwc: Philips webcam module removed.
pwc: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint
flag.
pwc: Philips webcam module version 10.0.11-unofficial
loaded.
pwc: Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690,
PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.
pwc: Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech
Quickcams, Samsung MPC-C10 and MPC-C30,
pwc: the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye
and Visionite VCS-UC300 and VCS-UM100.
pwc: Philips PCVC740K (ToUCam Pro)/PCVC840 (ToUCam II)
USB webcam detected.
pwc: Registered as /dev/video0.
usbcore: registered new driver Philips webcam
running "setpwc -p" returns:

Current device: Philips 740 webcam
VIDIOCPWCPROBE returns: Philips 740 webcam - 740
Serial number: RS100003E1D8001

Blinking of LED is not supported by the combination of
your webcam and the driver.

Anti-flicker mode: off
Noise reduction mode: 1
Pan/tilt range is not supported by the combination of
your webcam and the driver.
Get pan/tilt position is not supported by the
combination of your webcam and the driver.
The problem is that xawtv, kopete, gnomemeeting and
other applications hung in trying to use the webcam.
The problem seems to appear only on resolutions higher
than 160x120. Running:
mplayer tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:device/dev/video0:width=160:height=120
the image appears clear and OK. Any other resolution
(320x240, 640x480) does not display any image. Same
behavior qastrocam program.
Any tip on how to proceed will be appreciated.
Thanks
