Hi
I'm having real problems with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 on my Hardy desktop system, although it's supposed to 'work out of the box'
When I run luvcview in a terminal, the program starts, but the image is very unstable. It's a bit hard to describe - I can see myself clearly, but the image is broken up into squares which keep jumping about. When I try the test in Skype, I get the same effect, only worse - I can hardly see anything.
I've been digging around on this. According to my system log the uvc video drivers have been installed:
May 17 12:12:02 roger-desktop-new kernel: [ 39.054334] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:0990)
May 17 12:12:02 roger-desktop-new kernel: [ 39.067692] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
May 17 12:12:02 roger-desktop-new kernel: [ 39.067697] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
But the end of dmesg doesn't look encouraging:
[ 198.353108] uvcvideo: Failed to query (132) UVC control 4 (unit 2) : -71 (exp. 2).
[ 259.490565] uvcvideo: Failed to query (130) UVC control 8 (unit 2) : 0 (exp. 2).
[ 945.986534] uvcvideo: Failed to query (132) UVC control 3 (unit 2) : -71 (exp. 2).
[ 1319.993004] process `skype' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
Although I don't know what all this 'stuff' really means.
Getting a bit desperate, and all help much appreciate.
I know the camera works fine - I tested it in Windows
