To get the focus control working see this tread in the forum or this tutorial in Italian language The webcam works out of the box but not the focus control. Yes, but crashes in Skype unless update uvcvideo. uvc makefile: Change INSTALL_MOD_DIR := kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo. Requires updated uvcvideo driver, easy to get from ). Driver home page is, and problem solution is from here. This is evidenced in dmesg by the line 'drivers/usb/media/ov511.c: No decompressor available.' To get things running, load the kernel module 'ovcamchip' at startup. Warty and Hoary both detect and load the ov511 driver included with the kernel, but neglect to load the image decompressor kernel module. Not out of the box, but can be made to work. These installation instructions worked admirably. Has anybody got better colors using GRed,GBlue and GGreen parameters?

Image has blue taint with default gain levels. Ubuntu Hoary doesn't autodetect, but I have got the camera working by doing the steps listed here. Same ID as previous entry, but since name on the box is different, I'm adding it here.Ĭamera is detected, but needs package xawtv installed to hook it to /dev/videox.
