I have this webcam and i hope the developers here can help to make your driver supports this webcam.

I followed the instruction from here and used sniffusb in windows to generate a log file without starting my webcam.  Log file is as attached.

I have also created a log file with my webcam started but text editor hanged when trying to open it, so I copied the log file to ubuntu but gedit was unable to open it as well because the file was 2.8 gigabyte big.

I hope some developers will add support to this webcam soon.

Thank you
Tan Boon Teck

    here is more info about this webcam. It is using ov7640 sensor. this is
    how i got it. pls correct me if i am wrong!

    I download dkms-m560x-0.4.0-0.20080229 from
    http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm/mandriva/devel/cooker/x86-64/mandriva.html

    i change it to deb using alien

    i install the debian package

    and the file is installed under usr/src/

    i open up the file m560x_core.c

    and i add this
    { USB_DEVICE(0x041e, 0x4055), .driver_info=CAMERA_M5603 },
    under this
    { USB_DEVICE(0x0402, 0x5603), .driver_info=CAMERA_M5603 },

    i open this file as well m560x_core.c.hardware
    and add this
    { USB_DEVICE(0x041e, 0x4055), .driver_info=CAMERA_M5603 },
    under this
    { USB_DEVICE(0x0402, 0x5603), .driver_info=CAMERA_M5603 },

    and then
    make

    this is the output
