Getting my ICM532 chipset based webcam working

[kjaggu]

Hi all,

I have a ICM532 chipset based webcam (D-Link DSB-C320). I could not find a solution across the forums to get the camera working properly for me on Ubuntu 10.10. There is a thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75284) concerning the same chipset on the forums, but it is quite old. I do not want to risk breaking my system while attempting the fix. It would be really helpful if you could help me on the same.

Also, when I check the webcam through Cheese, I get images with alternating yellow-tinge and blue-tinge.

your cam should work out of the box


open a terminal type gstreamer-properties click enter

click video
try v4l and v4l2

use the bottom test button for each 1
you may need to change the plugin to auto


this all comes from the cheese help FAQ'S

the driver is in the kernel now days
