The recent version of the 2.4.26-ts9 kernel code already has spca5xx
code, so I built the modules videodev.o and spca5xx.o and transfer the
modules to the ARM system.  I had a glitch in the compilation, but I
forced the use of kernel code's version of videodev.h.

I cannot get any program to work, though I can get part of a JPEG
image if I just cat /dev/video0 to a file (not satisfactory, but a start).

I have tried videodog.c, spcacat and the like. I am using the Labtec
Webcam Pro (which works correctly under an x86 system).

What am I doing wrong?

The following is just an example of one of my failures:
