I have been working from some time in a version of stk11xx suitable for integration in the kernel. I'd be grateful if somebody could test it before sending it to the v4l developers.
If you want to help, you need:
- A DC1125 webcam (usb id 174f:a311 or 0x05e1:0501). Others are not supported
- A 2.6.24-rc kernel version (or 2.6.23, but you'll need to touch some code, probably)
- git
- some v4l2 application (v4l1 is not fully supported yet)
grab and build the code:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/stkwebcam.git
cd stkwebcam
make
The module is called "stkwebcam" and should support YUV, RGB16 and Bayer colorspaces, and SXGA, VGA, CIF, QVGA and QCIF video size.
thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It would be great news if this driver was included in the kernel!
I installed the driver on a Ubuntu Hardy Heron Livecd. The webcam works in the program Cheese. Camorama couldnt access the driver in /dev/video0 for some reason.
Do you need more information?
Keep up the good work!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I installed the module on the Hardy Heron livecd again. I only had to install the build-essential metapackage and cheese as a webcam tool. My dmesg output can be found at http://files.vandenieuwenhof.nl/dmesg.txt
Hope this is enough information. If you need more, just let me know.
Other question, does this all mean that the driver is proposed for the .24 kernel?

Jeroen

Thank you for your tests.
V4L1 apps (such as camorama) are half-working (no mmap method). In fact, camorama won't work because it expect a different color format.
Do you remember what said dmesg about your sensor?
I will test again later.

Got your dmesg, thanks.
It's too late to get the driver in 2.6.24, but I hope it will be accepted in 2.6.25
