Hello guys,
I've been trying to use this driver for quite some time, but never really get it to work on my MSI GX700 laptop. I don't know if this trace is sufficient for any investigation, but it's all I got from dmesg. If you tell me what else do you need I will try and get it for you. I really want toa have all my hardware work on linux, and the webcam is the last piece of the puzzle. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hello,
lines past the list of loaded modules are useless ;-)
You have a divide error (division by zero probably). Tell us how you have
installed/compiled the driver.
From v4l-dvb? Version?
What linux?
..
The problem is that gspca_main doesn't implement any check on the subdriver
linked to it. Particulary, if you don't compile them in the same way, you
may have different headers file used, giving some strange results.
