Tevion 1.3mp Webcam

Hi,

I've been faffing and googleing trying to figure out how to get the webcam to work on my PI with little success. Here's what I've done so far..

This guy seems to have the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794589

Any way when I do the following:

Code: Select all

 lsusb

I get this:

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ac8:0323 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Luxya WC-1200 USB 2.0 Webcam


If I use fswebcam I get the following:

Code: Select all

--- Opening /dev/video0...

dmesg | tail
Gives me the following:

Here's a list of webcam software I've tried:
cheese, guvcview, fswebcam, camorama.

Some forums seem to suggest I should use V4L1 instead of V4L2 but I can't seem to get my head around how to change that or if it should/would work...

Any ideas?? Please bare with me I'm self taught, this is my first time using debian/linux and most of what you've read I've picked up in the last two days

Thanks for any help.

100 view's and not one reply. Don't be shy I think it might be a power issue, although I've read of people buying usb hubs and still having the same issue. I guess I should just wait for the Raspi CAM

From what I've read I've found this is a USB 1 device and would take quite a bit off effort to get it to work. I found one on the peripherals list for £3 so I think it's time to just move on

I had the same issue.

Reason:
RPI kernel (3.2.27+) has old version of gspca module 2.14.xx

Solution:
Install gspca version 2.15.18 module.

I know that it is hard for inexperienced users and it is long way on slow RPI device, but I found only this way.
