#5 zc030x driver (cvs) crashes with webcam NX
I've been following this project since long ago, and
it's wonderful to have at last a real working driver
for my webcam, and to see more work and progress on it.
I'm tryng to use it with the webcam NX, and it works OK
for some time (using GnomeMeeting), but after about a
minute the drivers hangs. and then I can only
disconnect the webcam and unload the driver. The worse
problem is that once I do that, the computer works OK
until I close GnomeMeeting or hang the conversation -
then I get a kernel panic. nothing to do but hard
reboot. After that of course I tend not to use the
webcam anymore for at least a month, hoping for it to
be fixed in CVS.
Is this problem known?
Another small issue in the Makefile is that:
MODULE_INSTALLDIR =
/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
should be:
MODULE_INSTALLDIR =
/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/media/
otherwise make install fails.

I have this problem too with the same webcam. Except i only
get a black picture, it doesn't show what the webcam is
supposed to be capturing. And in my case it hangs my entire
machine. I can't move the mouse or anything. Nothing to do
but hold the power button for a few secs to force it to
shutdown... As long as i don't modprobe the zc030x driver
everything works.
Btw, i have a 2.6 kernel if that makes a difference. And i
used the beta driver since i couldn't connect to the CVS. It
says the password is incorrect for the anonymous user. I was
supposed to just press enter, right?
