help please...
cam: logitech quickcam for notebooks. ID 046d:08ae
kernel: 2.6.12-10-k7
the stock kernel driver works as well as the 20060101 spca source....which is not very well. /dev/video1 is created, and demsg looks all well & good, but camorama and gnomemeeting hang when trying to access the cam. xawtv shows nothing.
here's the output from dmesg with the 20060101 driver:
Code:

occur when trying to use any program to capture video. the readme file in the 20060101 release indicates that my device id is supported.
ideas? please help.
EDIT:
after looking over the info at http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html it would seem that the problem may be that the sensor can't be detected and is being forced to Tas5130 when according to the web it's a PAS202 sensor. can anyone confirm/deny that using the srong sensor info will cause a hang?
EDIT2:
forced the probesensor function to return the code for the PAS202 sensor, and it didn't work. i'm out of ideas again...
