Trust WB-1300N webcam

Hi Michel, Thomas,

I tried to use the Trust WB-1300N webcam with the spca5xx drivers. The device is not on the compatibility list, but is is based on the Pixart PAC207 chip. Unfortunately, this webcam is not recognized by the driver (it has USB ID 145f:013a, according to lsusb). When I read through the source code, I realized that since the chip used is supported (Pixart PAC207) and the chip is also the bridge itself, it might work if I changed the USB vendor/device ID from another PAC207 device to my device’s numbers. I edited a few lines in spca5xx.c to do that. That didn’t work immediately, since the pac207 driver also seems to check some kind of ‘id’ in the registers of the PAC207. The device was recognized, but it didn’t work with any capture program (and would cause errors to show up in dmesg). After disabling this check (which is probably not the way it should be done…) I loaded the module and things worked great! I now use it as a network camera (it’s connected to a Linksys NSLU2, a small, ARM-based device).

My changes are below; I’m not such a hero with Linux source code so I don’t know how to quickly create a patch, but it’s just a few changed lines. It would be great if you could add these to the spca package, so this is another cam to be supported!

Best regards,

Tommy van der Vorst.

*Pac207.h lines 137/138:*

// if (id[0] != 0x27 || id[1] != 0x00)

// return -ENODEV;

Probably change this to something sensible…

*In spca5xx.c function spcaDetectCamera:*

* *

*Add*

case 0x145f: /* Trust */

                switch(product) {

                                case 0x013a:

                                                spca50x->desc = PAC207;

                                                spca50x->bridge = 

BRIDGE_PAC207;

                                                spca50x->sensor = 

SENSOR_PAC207;

                                                spca50x->cameratype = PGBRG;

memcpy(&spca50x->funct,&fpac207,sizeof(struct cam_operation));

                                                break;

                                }

                                break;

                }

}

Also add a USB_DEVICE with USB vendor ID 145f and product ID 013a.
