Hi everybody !

i have an usb webcam "Hercules dualpix hd" which ID is 06f8:3003

I am under ubuntu linux Intrepid, kernel 2.6.27

When i plug my webcam it makes the little blue light on the webcam blink and modprobes automatically the module "ov534" i installed using the EasyCam2 project ( http://blognux.free.fr/?p=13 &
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=16670 sorry it's in French ).

i get this in the dmesg :

[  268.452160] usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and
address 2
[  268.596393] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[  269.514057] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

and this

fallen@laptop:~$ lsmod | grep ov
ov534                  27696  0
videodev               41344  1 ov534
compat_ioctl32          9344  1 ov534
videobuf_vmalloc       14852  1 ov534
videobuf_core          26628  2 ov534,videobuf_vmalloc

fallen@laptop:~$ lsmod | grep v4l
v4l1_compat            22404  1 videodev

then i try using the webcam with vlc (with v4l or v4l2) and it doesn't work, so i try gstreamer-properties and i click on "Video" and i test each /dev/video* with v4l2 and it shows some strange green snow things but it does make the little blue light switch on on the webcam

I have nothing more than that, am i doing something wrong ?

I tried modprobing v4l2-common but it doesn't change anything, same thing with the module v4l2-int-device

ps : when i test my webcam using gstreamer-properties i get this in dmesg :

[  674.941551] ov534: open called (minor=0)
[  674.943197] ov534: open called (minor=1)

looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hi again, since i didn't get any answer i maybe emailing the wrong mailing list.

Can you give me a way to contact the ov534 dev team ? or maybe i should open a bug on some v4l bug tracker or ov534 bug tracker ?

If someone can tell me where the better place to report my problem or get a solution is, it would be pretty cool ;)

thank you in advance !

looking forward to hearing from you.
