Can anyone please help me solve my problem with Chicony USB camera (04f2:b008). I have installed uvc driver(package uvcvideo-kmp-default r242_2.6.25.11_0.1-2.1) with yast.
In Kopete->setting->configure->video i see only green screen.
When i run luvcview in terminal i get:
luvcview 0.2.4
SDL information:
Video driver: x11
A window manager is available
Device information:
Device path: /dev/video0
Stream settings:
Frame format: YUYV (MJPG is not supported by device)
Unable to set format: Device or resource busy
Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
My operating system is OpenSUSE 11 with KDE 4.1 and kernel version 2.6.25.11-0.1-default.
On Kubuntu in Kopete the camera work out of the box.
I cant find in yast any older version of gstreamer, so i upgraded it from 0.10.19-60 to 0.10.20-24 and the camera still dont work.
Then i saw that i can downgrade uvcvideo-kmp-default package from r242 to r200 (r242 is from pacman repository and r200 is from OSS), but that didnt solve my problem too.
Can you please tell me which version of gstreamer do you have?
I don’t have that machine with me, but I am using latest gstreamer NOW, there was a problem, however, that I had to keep the older versions until other updates came to fix the problem.
There HAS to be a way to downgrade in KDE, I just dont use it, from my understanding though, right-clicking on the package in YAST should do it…
Did you ever solve your webcam problem? I have an A300 series Toshiba, and it uses the Chicony 2.0 camera. I am using KDE and xine. I, too, get the green screen.
I am glad to have read that the camera is supported. That’s good news!
