Re: [Motion-user] Motion won't accept 1600x1200 resolution

[Ken A S. <ks...@se...>]

I determined that the "bad" machine had only a USB 1.0 controller
(despite being advertised as having 2.0 ports).  Saw this with:

debian4:~# lspci -v | grep HCI
00:01.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0
Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
debian4:~#

Consistent with this (using lsmod), I observed that the "bad"
machine loaded module ohci_hcd while the "good" machine loaded
ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd.

This apparently was why the 'bad' machine couldn't receive hi-res
images.

  How do I interrogate this Hub question?  Both boxes have only
  2.0 USB ports and there is nothing else USB plugged in ?
  Thanks

  Hi all
  I have two similar boxes, one of which will operate at
  1600x1200 resolution and one which automatically adjusts down
  to  176x144.
  Both have the same kernel (Debian 2.6.26-1), both are using
  the exact same camera hardware (logitech Quickcam 9000),
  The good machine is using Motion 3.2.9-2 while the 'bad'
  machine is using 3.2.9-7.  Any idea why the bad machine is
  "automatically" adjusting the resolution away from the desired
  1600x1200?
  The motion.conf specifies 1600x1200.
  Thanks in advance
  Ken
