Trouble with webcam device in lenovo laptop with usbid 17ef:4807

[nidelius]

Hello!

I'm trying to get my webcam in my lenovo x300 to work. People report that it should work by default in 9.04. But it didn't for me..

So I tried to install new uvc drivers two three times.. all I get now is a black window in skype, green window in mplayer and nothing in cheese.

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 17ef:4807 Lenovo

How do I check what's wrong. Tried to check in loggs but it didn't give me anything useful.

The most useful info I got was from:


mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:fps=25:device=/dev/video0

v4l2: ioctl get standard failed: Invalid argument
Selected device: UVC Camera (17ef:4807)
Capabilites: video capture streaming
supported norms:
inputs: 0 = Camera 1;
Current input: 0
Current format: YUYV
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
tv.c: norm_from_string(pal): Bogus norm parameter, setting default.
v4l2: ioctl enum norm failed: Invalid argument


I'll try downloading a new uvc driver and compile it to see if it gives me luck.

tried compiling uvc driver twice didn't work

Tried to reinstall to see if it was something that went wrong in install. But still all just green
