[linux-uvc-devel] Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 does not work

[Claudio B. <cla...@gm...>]

I am trying to use my USB Microsoft LifeCam Cinema webcam with Ubuntu
12.04. When not in use, it blinks incessantly and seems to slow down
my system. Using google voice or guvcview (or any other video
application), the camera works for 2 seconds and then freezes. If you
change resolution (or compression method) my camera restarts working
for 2 second and it stops again. Disconnecting the camera makes system
up and running again without slowing down.
I've tried with latest stabile kernel (3.2.7) with same results.

In dmesg.log camera was connected at my system at time 3702.044068.

Some hints always welcome.
