Not sure whether anyone's out there, but just in case, here's so more info... Now managed to compile the latest svn snapshot. There's a power button for the device on my laptop and when you activate it, the camera appears in /dev as /dev/video0 which is a link to /dev/v4l/video0 I was quite excited by this, ;-), but it's not quite right. I installed xawtv as somewhere I read this works with the cam. When you hit the power button an xawtv icon appears on the desktop, just like it did with my Logitech device and a different program when I got the Berlios driver going. However, the hard drive chugs away and nothing happens. aMSN doesn't recognise it at all and the testprogram for m5602 now works, but the bitmap it produces is just all black. Definite progress here though, so to whoever is doing the code, it looks like it's going in the right direction. :~) |
