Micromedia webcam
 

Hi all,

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1564 with an integrated webcam :

Quote:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0c45:641d Microdia

When I installed my Fedora 13, this webcam used to work very fine. But I
don't know what happened, now I can't get it to work anymore. When I
open cheese, the little webcam's light turns on and shutdown quickly.

My webcam uses the uvcvideo module but I can't see anything wrong in the
logs :

Unless I launch cheese from the terminal in which I get the following
errors :

Quote:
$ cheese
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: I/O error
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: I/O error
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Invalid argument

So what happened to my webcam which used to work? Maybe an updated
package broke it but I can't tell which one would do that... :s

I tried to load the module with quirks mode or the trace option but none
worked.

No, it was a fresh Fedora 13 install.

Could you test one thing quick. Open a terminal and try launching
cheese with this command

LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" cheese

of course if you have a x86_64 install then you will use /usr/lib64/
in the path to the library.

If you don't have that file you will need to install the libv4l rpm via yum.

If that works report back and we can work on the next set of steps.

I already tried this but I got the same error messages. And yes, I've
got a x86_64.

hi,

Maybe you should look at this page[1] and contact the person in-charge.
I had trouble with mine too. I had emailed him, and Hans replied with a
solution that works. Now the firmware for my webcam is at RPMFusion ;)

regards,
Ankur
