Re: [pwc] semi-OT - cam recommendation?

["Luis Delgado de Mendoza Garcia" <>]

in fact is possible to apply some hidden options in the pwc driver.

Because some errors in xawtv, this driver has some hidden features.

If you open pwc-v4l.c in the source code of the driver, you will see a line like this:

#if XAWTV_HAS_BEEN_FIXED

so, if you put afther de  #include "pwc-ioctl.h" a line like this:

#define XAWTV_HAS_BEEN_FIXED 1

you will get the full bunch of options in the pwc driver.

Hope it helps. bye
