Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your answer, that really gives hope for the future. I hope the 4.17(.4) kernel will make it to Stretch backports quickly then. There one thing that confuses me now: the devicelist* doesn't contain my device (04f2:b5e7) while your message suggests the driver that's included in the 4.17.4 kernel will have support for the device I have. How does that work? A good weekend everyone! *) http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices Best regards, Alex > From: "Robert Sandor" <san...@gm...> > To: "Alexander Swen" <ale...@sw...> > Cc: "linux-uvc-devel" <lin...@li...> > Sent: Friday, 20 July, 2018 15:48:17 > Subject: Re: [linux-uvc-devel] Request for support of Chicony webcams in HP > Elitebook G5 laptops > Hi Alexander, > I had the same issue running the HP Elitebook 840 G5 with Ubuntu. > The issue has been solved in the Linux Kernel version 4.17.4, so installing that > should enable the webcam. > Best, > Robert > On Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 3:28 PM Alexander Swen via Linux-uvc-devel < > lin...@li... > wrote: >> Hi, >> I hope I follow all your guidelines for posting in this list as this is my first >> post here and I couldn't find much documentation about how to file a request. >> If I do something wrong I hope you forgive me and still want to help me. >> I recently received a new laptop to do my work on.
