I tried using sn9cxxx 2.06 on my ThinkPad Z61t, without success. I'm running straight Debian 'unstable', kernel version 2.6.22, 32-bit, SMP, PREEMPT. No video device node appears in /dev. Neither Ekiga nor VLC sees anything

I used 'modprobe --force' to get the module to load. The diagnostics left in the /var/log/messages were as follows:



The USB ID of the ThinkPad's camera is 0c45:627b.

Any suggestions?

Hello, I also have something similar.<br /><br />I have a Microdia 0c45:6270 camera, and installed the last 2.06 drivers.<br /><br />The first time I got the messages you got.<br />After that, I deinstalled the module with --purge, removed the sgpca module that I tried to install earlier and found it was already in memory and installed the 2.06 again.<br /><br />The messages were gone, I get these messages now:<br /><div class="xoopsCode"><code><pre>

I checked and it was the V4L sn9cxxx ! Yes !<br /><br />But the /dev/video0 is not being created and I cannot open my webcam on any application....

This webcam is not supported at the moment. Next releases will probably support it. Stay tuned

Hi,
I am also having a similar problem with a webcam that displays as:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:6270 Microdia

And upon loading the latest modules I get the following output:

[87496.890054] usb 7-5: SN9C20X PC Camera Controller detected (vid 0x0C45)
[87496.912021] usb 7-5: MT9V111 image sensor detected
[87496.912027] usb 7-5: Bridge not supported

Will this also be supported in the next release?

Thats what appeared in mine at work too...

Luca, thanks for the feedback. I will be waiting for the next release! but... you said about mine or the initial camera ? Mine is the 6270...

Is there a way to be notified when a new release is launched ?

0x0c45:0x6270 will be supported soon. Keep an eye on the homepage for the news.

Hey, I just tried the same Cam (0x0c45:0x6270) again with the 2.07 driver... but I still get the same error... Was that camera supposed to be supported in this version or not yet?

Not yet, sorry.

I have sn9c201 cam, with id: 0c45:624f
I've loaded sn9cxxx.ko, but nothing happened - /dev/video* didn't appear. Is my cam supported?

Hey, is the new 2.08 driver going to support the (0x0c45:0x6270) camera?
When do you think you will be releasing this driver?

Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into these drivers :)
